Porsche AG, founded on 25 April 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche in Stuttgart, Germany, began as a design and engineering consultancy. Its first production car, the Porsche 356 (1948), featured lightweight aluminum bodywork and an air-cooled rear-mounted engine. Porsche introduced the 911 in 1963, a rear‑engine sports car that evolved through 8 generations into the current 992 series, known for its distinctive silhouette and engineering versatility. The brand expanded into luxury SUVs with the Cayenne (2002), Panamera sedan (2009), Macan (2014), and unveiled the fully electric Taycan (2019). In 2023, Porsche delivered over 330,000 vehicles worldwide and achieved record operating margins. Porsche’s motorsport success includes 19 overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and championships in Formula E, cementing its status as a performance benchmark.
