The history of Porsche can be traced back to 1900. Lohner-Porsche, the first car named after Porsche, officially appeared and caused a sensation. This two-seater sports car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche (hereinafter referred to as Big Porsche). At that time, the 25-year-old Big Porsche was employed as a designer by Lohner Car Factory. He has shown outstanding talent here. Grand Porsche 1875 was born in Austria, and his father was a blacksmith. Ferdinand liked to work as a white iron worker since he was a child, and he was also interested in electricians. 1890 began to develop electric Gome gasoline electric vehicles. 1906, Porsche transferred to the Austrian branch of Daimler car factory as the technical director. In the next ten years, he designed a number of epoch-making new cars, such as Daimler-Benz SS and SSK sports cars, and GrandPrix Car of United Automobile Company, all of which are glorious chapters in the German automobile industry. In 1923, he was promoted to chief engineer of Daimler General Factory. Daimler and Ben Ci Car Factory merged in 1926 to form the current Mercedes-Benz Car Factory. During this period, Porsche suggested to Mercedes-Benz to produce a production car that was affordable to all, but it was rejected by the board of directors at that time. This forced the big Porsche to leave. 193 1 On March 6th, 2008, Porsche established a design company in Stuttgart with the help of several investors, specializing in developing engines for automobiles, planes and ships. At the age of 24, Ferry Porsche also joined the design team. Later, the father and son began to work on the development plan of Volkswagen. Little known is that the wishes of the Porsche father and son actually coincide with Hitler, who was notorious at that time. Hitler also specially summoned Porsche to discuss this matter. In the Second World War, he also designed a tiger tank for Hitler to shock the European battlefield. Because of his relationship with German Nazis, he was arrested by Americans after World War II, and later handed over to France. He spent two years in prison and was released in August 1947.
Four years later (i.e. 1935), the prototype car was born, which is the "beetle" of Volkswagen. Up to now, it has been continuously produced for more than 50 years and is the largest car model in the world. In 1930s, Big Porsche also designed three high-performance racing cars for the predecessor of Audi Car Factory, which were also considered as the predecessors of Porsche sports cars. After the end of World War II 1946, Porsche's design company moved to Austria, and Porsche Junior and its sister Louise Piech formally joined the management team. Louise has become the daughter-in-law of the Piech family, and the two families have been closely linked since then. With the assistance of a pair of sons and daughters, Big Porsche started the research and development of Porsche cars on the basis of "Beetle". Because both father and son have an indescribable enthusiasm for performance, the first Porsche car developed by themselves is naturally a sports car famous for its performance, which is the Porsche356, which was launched in 1948. Like the Porsche sports car to be launched in the future, the 356 has a light body and a low profile. These characteristics make it unique. Porsche died in 195 1 after realizing his dream of making his own sports car. carry forward
