'''Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG''', usually shortened to '''Porsche''' ({{IPA|de|ˈpɔʁʃə|-|de-Porsche.ogg}}<small>; see [[#Pronunciation|below]]</small>), is a German automobile manufacturer specializing in luxury, high-performance [[sports car]]s, [[SUVs]] and [[sedans]], headquartered in [[Stuttgart]], [[Baden-Württemberg]], Germany. The company is owned by [[Volkswagen Group|Volkswagen AG]], a controlling stake of which is owned by [[Porsche Automobil Holding SE]]. Porsche's current lineup includes the [[Porsche Boxster/Cayman|718]], [[Porsche 911|911]], [[Porsche Panamera|Panamera]], [[Porsche Macan|Macan]], [[Porsche Cayenne|Cayenne]] and [[Porsche Taycan|Taycan]].
The origins of the company date to the 1930s when Czech-German automotive engineer [[Ferdinand Porsche]] founded Porsche<ref name="Auto" /> with [[Adolf Rosenberger]], a keystone figure in the creation of German automotive manufacturer and [[Audi]] precursor [[Auto Union]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sherman |first=Don |date=9 August 2018 |title=The Story of Adolf Rosenberger |url=https://www.hagerty.com/media/people/the-story-of-adolf-rosenberger/ |access-date=29 November 2023 |website=Hagerty}}</ref> and [[Austria]]n businessman [[Anton Piëch]], who was, at the time, also Ferdinand Porsche's son in law. In its early days, it was contracted by the [[Nazi Germany|German government]] to create a vehicle for the masses, which later became the [[Volkswagen Beetle]].<ref name=":3" /> After [[World War II]], when Ferdinand, a member of both the [[Nazi Party]] and the [[SS]], would be arrested for [[war crime]]s, his son [[Ferry Porsche]], an [[SS]] volunteer, began building his own car, which would result in the [[Porsche 356]].
In 2009, Porsche entered an agreement with [[Volkswagen]] to create an 'integrated working group' by merging the two companies' car manufacturing operations.<ref name="PorscheMerger" /><ref name=":4" /> By 2015, [[Porsche SE]], the holding company spun off from the original Porsche firm, had a controlling interest in the [[Volkswagen Group]], which included Audi and [[Lamborghini]] as subsidiaries.<ref name=":5" />

However, not all this work was wasted, as the chassis Porsche designed for the Tiger I was used as the base for the [[Elefant]] [[tank destroyer]]. Porsche also developed the [[Panzer VIII Maus|Maus]] [[super-heavy tank]] in the closing stages of the war, producing two prototypes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-viii-maus-porsche-typ-205-tiger-iip.htm|title=Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus Porsche Typ 205 / Tiger II(P)|access-date=4 May 2011|work=Achtung Panzer|archive-date=16 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180316103737/http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzerkampfwagen-viii-maus-porsche-typ-205-tiger-iip.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Ferdinand Porsche's biographer, Fabian Müller, wrote that Porsche had thousands of people forcibly brought to work at their factories during the war. The workers wore the letter "P" on their clothing at all times. It stood not for "Porsche", but for "Poland".<ref>{{cite web|last=Klawitter|first=Nils|date=1 October 2009|title=Porsche's Past: The Dark Pre-History of the World's Favorite Sports Car|url=https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/porsche-s-past-the-dark-pre-history-of-the-world-s-favorite-sports-car-a-652371.html|website=www.spiegel.de}}</ref>
At the end of World War II in 1945, the [[list of Volkswagen Group factories|Volkswagen factory]] at [[KdF-Stadt]] fell to the British. Ferdinand lost his position as chairman of the board of management of Volkswagen, and [[Ivan Hirst]], a British Army major, was put in charge of the factory. (In Wolfsburg, the Volkswagen company magazine dubbed him "The British Major who saved Volkswagen".)<ref>{{cite book|last=Mantle|first=Jonathan|title=Car wars: fifty years of greed, treachery, and skulduggery in the global marketplace|publisher=[[Arcade Publishing]]|year=1996|page=216|isbn=978-1-55970-333-8}}</ref> On 15 December of that year, Ferdinand was arrested for war crimes, but not tried. During his 20-month imprisonment, Ferdinand Porsche's son, [[Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche|Ferry Porsche]], decided to build his own car, because he could not find an existing one that he wanted to buy. He also had to steer the company through some of its most difficult days until his father's release in August 1947.<ref name="Gmünd">{{cite book|last=Meredith|first=Laurence|author2=Mark Hughes|title=Original Porsche 356|publisher=MotorBooks/MBI Publishing Company|year=1995|page=7|isbn=978-1-870979-58-0}}</ref>
The first models of what was to become the [[Porsche 356|356]] were built in a small sawmill in [[Gmünd, Carinthia|Gmünd]], Austria.<ref name="Gmünd"/> The prototype car was shown to German auto dealers, and when pre-orders reached a set threshold, production (with aluminum body) was begun by [[Porsche Salzburg|Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH]], founded by Ferry and [[Louise Piëch|Louise]]. Many regard the 356 as the first Porsche simply because it was the first model ''sold'' by the fledgling company. After production of the 356 was taken over by the father's Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche GmbH in Stuttgart in 1950, Porsche commissioned a [[Zuffenhausen]]-based company, Reutter Karosserie, which had previously collaborated with the firm on Volkswagen Beetle prototypes, to produce the 356's steel body. In 1952, Porsche constructed an assembly plant (Werk 2) across the street from Reutter Karosserie; the main road in front of Werk 1, the oldest Porsche building, is now known as Porschestrasse.<ref>{{cite book|author=John Lamm|title=Porsche Boxster|publisher=MotorBooks International|url=https://archive.org/details/porscheboxster00lamm|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/porscheboxster00lamm/page/100 100]|year=1998|isbn=978-0-7603-0519-5}}</ref> The 356 was road-certified in 1948.
===Company logo===
<gallery mode="nolines" widths="80px">
Wappen Volksstaat Württemberg (Farbe).svg|[[Coat of arms]] of [[Free People's State of Württemberg|Württemberg]] during the [[Weimar Republic|Weimar-era]]
DEU Stuttgart COA.svg|[[Stuttgart#Name and coat of arms|Coat of arms of Stuttgart]]
</gallery>
Porsche's company logo stems from the [[Coat of arms of Württemberg|coat of arms of the Free People's State of Württemberg]] of [[Weimar Germany]] of 1918–1933, which had [[Stuttgart]] as its capital. (The [[Bundesland (Germany)|Bundesland]] of [[Württemberg-Hohenzollern]] used the same arms from 1945 to 1952, while Stuttgart during these years operated as the capital of adjacent [[Württemberg-Baden]].) The arms of Stuttgart appear in the middle of the logo as an [[inescutcheon]], for the company had its headquarters in Stuttgart. The heraldic symbols, combined with the texts "Porsche" and "Stuttgart", do not form a conventional [[coat of arms]], since [[Achievement (heraldry)|heraldic achievement]]s never spell out the name of the [[armiger]] nor the armiger's home town in the shield.
Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern both in 1952 became part of the present Bundesland of [[Baden-Württemberg]] after the political consolidation of [[West Germany]] in 1949, but the old design of the arms of Württemberg lives on in the Porsche logo. On 30 January 1951, not long before the formation of Baden-Württemberg, Ferdinand Porsche died from complications following a stroke.
===Developments===
[[File:1953-porsche-archives.jpg|thumb|1952 Porsche 356 K/9-1 prototype]]
In post-war Germany, parts were generally in short supply, so the 356 automobile used components from the Volkswagen Beetle, including the engine case from its [[internal combustion engine]], [[transmission (mechanics)|transmission]], and several parts used in the [[suspension (vehicle)|suspension]]. The 356, however, had several evolutionary stages, A, B, and C, while in production, and most Volkswagen-sourced parts were replaced by Porsche-made parts. Beginning in 1954 the 356s engines started utilizing engine cases designed specifically for the 356. The sleek bodywork was designed by [[Erwin Komenda]], who also had designed the body of the Beetle. Porsche's signature designs have, from the beginning, featured air-cooled rear-engine configurations (like the Beetle), rare for other car manufacturers, but producing automobiles that are very well balanced.
In 1964, after a fair amount of success in [[auto racing|motor-racing]] with various models including the [[Porsche 550|550 Spyder]], and with the 356 needing a major re-design, the company launched the [[Porsche 911]]: another [[air-cooled engine|air-cooled]], [[rear-engine design|rear-engined]] sports car, this time with a six-cylinder [[flat engine|"boxer" engine]]. The team to lay out the body shell design was led by Ferry Porsche's eldest son, [[Ferdinand Alexander Porsche]] (F. A.). The design phase for the 911 caused internal problems with Erwin Komenda, who led the body design department until then. F. A. Porsche complained Komenda made unauthorized changes to the design. Company leader Ferry Porsche took his son's drawings to neighbouring chassis manufacturer Reuter. Reuter's workshop was later acquired by Porsche (so-called Werk 2). Afterward, Reuter became a seat manufacturer, today known as [[Recaro|Keiper-Recaro]].
[[File:Porsche 912 Coupe in the Porsche-Museum (2009) IMG 2730.jpg|thumb|The [[Porsche 912]], from the 1960s]]
The design office gave sequential numbers to every project (See [[Porsche type numbers]]), but the designated 901 nomenclature contravened [[Peugeot]]'s trademarks on all 'x0x' names, so it was adjusted to 911. Racing models adhered to the "correct" numbering sequence: 904, 906, 908. The 911 has become Porsche's most well-known model – successful on the race-track, in [[rallying|rallies]], and in terms of road car sales. It remains in production; however, after several generations of revision, current-model 911s share only the basic mechanical configuration of a rear-engined, six-cylinder [[coupé]], and basic styling cues with the original car. A cost-reduced model with the same body, but with a 356-derived four-cylinder engine, was sold as the 912.
In 1972, the company's legal form was changed from ''[[Kommanditgesellschaft]]'' (KG), or limited partnership, to [[Aktiengesellschaft]] (AG), or public limited company, because Ferry Porsche came to believe the scale of the company outgrew a "family operation", after learning about [[Soichiro Honda]]'s "no family members in the company" policy at [[Honda]]. This led to the establishment of an executive board with members from outside the Porsche family, and a supervisory board consisting largely of family members. With this change, most family members in the operation of the company, including F. A. Porsche and Ferdinand Piëch, departed from the company.
F. A. Porsche founded his own design company, [[Porsche Design Group|Porsche Design]], which is renowned for exclusive sunglasses, watches, furniture, and many other luxury articles. Louise's son and Ferry's nephew [[Ferdinand Piëch]], who was responsible for mechanical development of Porsche's production and racing cars (including the very successful [[Porsche 911|911]], [[Porsche 908|908]] and [[Porsche 917|917]] models), formed his own engineering bureau, and developed a [[straight-five engine|five-cylinder-inline]] [[diesel engine]] for [[Mercedes-Benz]]. A short time later he moved to [[Audi]] (used to be a division, then a subsidiary, of Volkswagen), and pursued his career through the entire company, ultimately becoming the chairman of [[Volkswagen Group]].
The first chief executive officer (CEO) of Porsche AG was [[Ernst Fuhrmann]], who had been working in the company's engine development division. Fuhrmann was responsible for the so-called Fuhrmann-engine, used in the 356 Carrera models as well as the 550 Spyder, having [[Double overhead camshaft|four overhead camshafts]] instead of a central camshaft with pushrods, as in the Volkswagen-derived serial engines. He planned to cease the 911 during the 1970s and replace it with the [[V8 engine|V8]]-[[Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout|front engined]] grand sportswagon [[Porsche 928|928]]. As we know today, the 911 outlived the 928 by far. Fuhrmann was replaced in the early 1980s by [[Peter W. Schutz]], an American manager and self-proclaimed 911 aficionado. He was then replaced in 1988 by the former manager of German computer company Nixdorf Computer AG, [[Arno Bohn]], who made some costly miscalculations that led to his dismissal soon after, along with that of the development director, [[Dr. Ulrich Bez]], who was formerly responsible for BMW's [[BMW Z1|Z1]] model, and was CEO of [[Aston Martin]] from 2000 to 2013.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1083889_aston-martin-ceo-ulrich-bez-to-step-down-report|title=Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez To Step Down: Report|work=Motor Authority|access-date=9 April 2017|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170410050853/http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1083889_aston-martin-ceo-ulrich-bez-to-step-down-report|archive-date=10 April 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1990, Porsche drew up a memorandum of understanding with [[Toyota]] to learn and benefit from Japanese [[lean manufacturing]] methods. In 2004 it was reported that Toyota was assisting Porsche with [[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid technology]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Nexteer Automotive Poland president Rafal Wyszomirski |url=http://www.just-auto.com/news/porsche-asks-for-toyota-hybrid-technology_id71109.aspx |title=Just auto 23 November 2004 |publisher=Just-auto.com |access-date=1 August 2011 |archive-date=27 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927153453/http://www.just-auto.com/news/porsche-asks-for-toyota-hybrid-technology_id71109.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Following the dismissal of Bohn, [[Heinz Branitzki]], a longtime Porsche employee, was appointed as interim CEO. Branitzki served in that position until [[Wendelin Wiedeking]] became CEO in 1993. Wiedeking took over the chairmanship of the board at a time when Porsche appeared vulnerable to a takeover by a larger company. During his long tenure, Wiedeking transformed Porsche into a very efficient and profitable company.
Ferdinand Porsche's nephew, Ferdinand Piëch, was chairman and CEO of the [[Volkswagen Group]] from 1993 to 2002 and is chairman of the Volkswagen AG Supervisory Board since then. With 12.8 percent of the Porsche SE voting shares, he also remains the second-largest individual shareholder of Porsche SE after his cousin, F. A. Porsche, which had 13.6 percent.
Porsche's 2002 introduction of the Cayenne also marked the unveiling of a new production facility in [[Leipzig]], [[Free State of Saxony|Saxony]], which once accounted for nearly half of Porsche's annual output. In 2004, production of the {{convert|456|kW|PS bhp|0|lk=on}} [[Porsche Carrera GT|Carrera GT]] commenced in Leipzig, and at EUR 450,000 ($440,000 in the United States) it was the most expensive production model Porsche ever built.
[[File:Toulousaine de l'automobile - 7425 - Porsche 911 Carrera (2011).jpg|thumb|left|Porsche 911 (991)]]
In mid-2006, after years of the Boxster (and later the Cayenne) as the best selling Porsche in North America, the 911 regained its position as Porsche's best-seller in the region. The Cayenne and 911 have cycled as the top-selling model since. In Germany, the 911 outsells the Boxster/Cayman and Cayenne.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.porsche.com/usa/aboutporsche/pressreleases/pag/archive2006/quarter3/|title=Porsche USA press release|date=11 September 2006}}</ref>

The company has always had a close relationship with, initially, the [[Volkswagen]] (VW) [[marque]], and later, the [[Volkswagen Group]] (which also owns [[Audi|Audi AG]]), because the first [[Volkswagen Beetle]] was designed by [[Ferdinand Porsche]].
The two companies collaborated in 1969 to make the [[Porsche 914|VW-Porsche 914 and 914-6]], whereby the 914-6 had a Porsche engine, and the 914 had a Volkswagen engine. Further collaboration in 1976 resulted in the [[Porsche 912]]E (US only) and the [[Porsche 924]], which used many Audi components, and was built at Audi's [[Neckarsulm]] factory, which had been [[NSU Motorenwerke|NSU]]'s. [[Porsche 944]]s were also built there,<ref>{{cite web|title=The history of the Neckarsulm plant |url=https://www.audi-mediaservices.com/publish/ms/content/en/public/hintergrundberichte/2011/03/08/der_audi_standort/the_history_of_the.standard.gid-oeffentlichkeit.html |work=Audi MediaServices |publisher=Audi AG |access-date=4 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008202612/https://www.audi-mediaservices.com/publish/ms/content/en/public/hintergrundberichte/2011/03/08/der_audi_standort/the_history_of_the.standard.gid-oeffentlichkeit.html |archive-date=8 October 2011 }}</ref> although they used far fewer Volkswagen components. The Cayenne, introduced in 2002, shares its chassis with the [[Volkswagen Touareg]] and the [[Audi Q7]], which is built at the [[list of Volkswagen Group factories|Volkswagen Group factory]] in [[Bratislava]], [[Slovakia]].
