It's fair to say the German car manufacturer Porsche is one of the most recognised and revered for the production of luxurious SUVs and sedans that are even more thrilling to drive.
This section contains links to a range of Porsche high-performance sports cars with further coverage of news items issued by Porsche Cars Great Britain Limited.
Origin and Historical Data about Porsches
Last time we checked, "the Volkswagen Group" owns Porsche and their headquarters is based in Stuttgart.
But, it was way back in 1931 when Ferdinand Porsche first founded the German auto brand.
This was when the German government contracted this Czech-German automotive engineer to create a vehicle for the masses.
Guess what? In later years, that particular vehicle turned out to be the highly esteemed Volkswagen Beetle.
After the end of World War II, Ferdinand's son - Ferry Porsche - started building his own car. Believe it or not, the fruits of his first creation ended up being the Porsche 356.
Then...
Porsche built a powerful version of the race car type 935 that would be street legal. They followed that with seven unique models of a gold-on-gold Porsche 959 for a wealthy sheikh in 1989.
When some of the best cars of the 1990s came along, the top spots of the Porsche model range came in the form of the iconic 911 Turbo S.
More recently...
Porsche's introduction of the Cayenne took place in 2002. This also spurred the unveiling of their new production facility located in Leipzig.
A few years later (around 2006), the Boxster became the best selling Porsche in North America. However, it didn't take long for the 911 to regain its number 1 position.
