The History of Porsche - Part 3

In 1990 , Porsche had a memorandum of understanding with Toyota to learn and benefit from Japanese production methods. Currently Toyota is assisting Porsche with Hybrid technology, rumored to be making its way into a Hybrid Cayenne SUV.

Ferdinand Porsche's grandson, Ferdinand Piëch , was chairman and CEO of the Volkswagen Group from 1993 to 2002 . Today he is chairman of the supervisory board. With 12.8 per cent of the Porsche voting shares, he also remains the second largest individual shareholder of Porsche AG after his cousin F.A. Porsche (13.6 per cent).

Porsche's 2002 introduction of the Cayenne also marked the unveiling of a new production facility in Leipzig , Saxony , which once accounted for nearly half of Porsche's annual output. The Cayenne Turbo S has the second most powerful production engine in Porsche's history (with the most powerful belonging to the Carrera GT). [Read more]

The History of Porsche - Part 2

The company has always had a close relationship with Volkswagen , and as already mentioned, the first Porsche cars used many Volkswagen components. The two companies collaborated in 1969 to make the VW-Porsche 914 and 914-6 , in 1976 with the Porsche 912E (USA only) and the Porsche 924 , which used many Audi components and was built at an Audi Neckarsulm factory. Most 944s were also built there even though they used many fewer VW components. The Porsche Cayenne , introduced in 2002 , shares its entire chassis with VW Touareg , which are built at the Skoda factory in Bratislava . Both Audi and Skoda are wholly-owned subsidiaries of VW . In late 2005 , Porsche took an 18.65% stake in VW , further cementing their relationship and preventing a takeover of VW , which was rumored at the time. Speculated suitors included DaimlerChrysler , BMW , and Renault. [Read more]

The History of Porsche - Part 1

Many people regard the 356 as the first Porsche simply because it was the first model sold by the fledgling company. Ferdinand Porsche worked with his son Ferry Porsche in designing the 356 but died soon after the first prototype was built. Again, the car used components from the Beetle including its engine , gearbox and suspension . However, the 356 had several evolutions while in production and many VW parts were replaced by Porsche-made parts. The last 356s were powered by entirely Porsche designed engines. The sleek bodywork was designed by Erwin Komenda who had also designed the body of the Beetle. [Read more]
