Before yesterday's dream car became today's SUV, the reputation of
Porsche as a manufacturer of fine sports cars was established. It
started with the ideas of Dr Ferdinand Porsche, and a world best
seller that spawned a revered line of sports cars. The Porsche 356
and 911 dominated their classes in international racing, leading to
more specialized designs that brought glory to the marque, most
famously at Le Mans. Porsche's success was based on excellent
engineering. The firm's design consultancy has brought automotive
innovation. Such excellence has been centered upon Weissach, the go
to place for companies needing a high tech helping hand. Commercial
achievement is based on image too. Here, Porsche has carefully
chosen its models, and the way they have been sold and promoted.
The result, is a unique position in public perception and media
coverage. Even during the golden air-cooled era, Porsche wasn't
afraid to experiment. The Square Porsche and front-engined coupes,
all courted controversy. However, Zuffenhausen believed a Porsche
was a Porsche, and soon others did too. The company's tremendous
influence in design and engineering has even inspired artistic
creation. Like the cars, they represent an inseparable combination
of style and substance.
