The philosophy of Ferdinand Porsche

At the dawn of the 20th century, engineer Ferdinand Porsche laid down a technological and entrepreneurial blueprint that continues to guide the company bearing his name. Porsche’s enduring success is rooted in its commitment to those early principles. From the outset, the Porsche story was charged with innovation. As the new century approached, Ferdinand Porsche experimented boldly with electric mobility, developing both electric and hybrid vehicles long before they entered the mainstream.

Today—150 years after Porsche’s birth on September 3, 1875—that pioneering spirit remains unmistakably present. The brand’s modern lineup reflects this legacy, spanning high-efficiency combustion engines, cutting-edge plug-in hybrids, and fully electric models that carry forward the founder’s original vision.
