Back in 1948, when Ferdinand Porsche founded the Porsche brand with just 200 workers, nobody could have guessed that the brand would become the face of luxury and powerful performance.
The first model introduced was the Porsche 356. A mere 52 cars were produced in 1949 in a small garage. Shortly thereafter, in 1952, the automaker released one of its most iconic models ever, the 550 Spyder, and from then on, the brand continued to grow exponentially - in numbers and stature.
By the time the marque celebrated its 25th anniversary, 10 000 Porsches had been sold!
The original 911 is arguably Porsche's most loved model. In 1975 the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0 was launched and became an instant success as well as the fastest car in Germany.
In 2011, Volkswagen and Porsche merged. Volkswagen Group is also the parent company of other luxury car brands, such as Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini.
Another landmark came in 2014 with the launch of the Porsche Macan Turbo - a smooth and sleek SUV crossover that is incredibly powerful achieving 400 hp with its 3.6L V6 engine.
Today, Porsche is one of the most popular luxury car brands, reflecting a prestigious and powerful image with its high-end features and strong engine options. The brand's status reassures owners of Porsche cars of the highest quality.
