The History of Porsches
Bright photographs and a compelling narrative provide your readers with the fascinating history of Porsches. The first automobile produced by Ferdinand Porsche was an electric car called the Lohner Porsche, which caught the eye of many people at the Paris World Fair in 1900. In 1931, Porsche founded the company Dr. Ing h. c. F. Porsche GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany. The first car the company created was designed to be a car for the people, the Volkswagen Beetle in 1934. In 1948, the Porsche 356 became the first Porsche sports car. Today, Porsche not only offers engineering services, but also has its own line of luxury vehicles and endurance race cars.
