Porsche AG is a German automobile manufacturer specializing in high-performance sports cars, SUVs, and sedans. It was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, an automotive engineer who had previously worked on the development of the Volkswagen Beetle. The company’s headquarters are located in Stuttgart, Germany, and it is part of the Volkswagen Group, one of the largest car manufacturers globally.

Porsche initially provided motor vehicle development work and consulting but did not manufacture any cars under its own name. The first car produced by Porsche was the Porsche 64, built in 1939 using components from the Volkswagen Beetle. In 1948, the company introduced the Porsche 356, which became its first mass-produced sports car. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche's son, Ferry Porsche. The 356 established the company's reputation for high-quality engineering and performance. In 1964, Porsche introduced its most iconic model, the Porsche 911, a rear-engined sports car that quickly gained a reputation for its performance, handling, and distinctive design.

Throughout its history, Porsche has maintained a strong presence in motorsports, particularly in endurance racing. The brand has achieved significant success at events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it holds the record for the most overall victories. Its motorsport activities have influenced the development of many of its road cars, blending performance with practicality.

Porsche expanded its product lineup in the 2000s by introducing SUVs and sedans, such as the Porsche Cayenne and the Porsche Panamera, to attract a broader customer base. These models have been highly successful and helped solidify Porsche’s position as a major player in the luxury car market. The company has also embraced new technologies, producing hybrid and electric vehicles, including the Porsche Taycan, the brand’s first fully electric car.

The brand has a worldwide presence, with a strong network of dealerships and service centers. Porsche maintains a significant online and social media presence, allowing customers and enthusiasts to engage with the brand digitally.
