Porsche is celebrating its anniversary!
Happy Birthday Porsche!
A small company becomes the most profitable automobile manufacturer for 60 years of the sports car. Exactly 60 years ago the cornerstone was laid for the family-operated industrial company, whose rise from modest beginnings to become one of the most important sports car manufacturers in the world no one back then would have ever foreseen and on June 8, 1948 Porsche had its first prototype with the 356-001 VIN number. “It all started when I began looking around and just could not find my dream car. So I decided to build it myself.” Ferry Porsche used to say. And the genius and pioneering spirit Ferry Porsche to this day has shaped the philosophy of the company.
Porsche has not only experienced peaks, in the past six decades but also troughs. However gratitude to efficient production methods, clear branding and innovative models, such as the 911, Boxster, Cayenne, and the 356 and the 911, the once small sports car specialist quickly transformed into one of the most successful and profitable automobile manufacturers in the world.
To achieve this special image, mainly through its most varied innovations and also, in particular, in the area of environmental protection, Porsche has worked very hard to achieve all of this. Passed by the Lawmakers, Porsche engineers are never satisfied with only meeting current environmental regulations. It has always been their goal to exceed them. When it comes to environmental protection Porsche vehicles should also set an example. The first authorized emissions test in Europe was performed using a 911, as early as 1966.
