New & Used Porsche Cars, Parts & Reviews

Arguably the finest performance machines in the world, Porsche vehicles have a sterling reputation for speed, tight handling, and unparalleled body designs. Porsche owners usually agree that the vehicle offers a driving experience unlike any other, which is one of the many reasons Porsche has basically been able to define the performance car segment. Founded by engineer Ferdinand Porsche, the Porsche company began in 1931 as the Porsche Engineering Office in Stuttgart, Germany. The first production vehicle Ferdinand created was the Volkswagen Beetle, which explains why his sports cars would eventually use many of the same components and carry an air-cooled engine in the rear.

In the 1960s, Porsche introduced the legendary 911, a model that is still made today. The Spyder-inspired Boxster was released in 1997, promoted as an “affordable” performance machine and was an instant best seller. Soon after, Porsche defied critics and purists by unveiling the Cayenne SUV. The stunning lines and mind-blowing performance (a 450-horsepower engine, for example) of the Cayenne quickly won over critics and buyers alike. Despite evolving markets and economic challenges, Porsche has remained at the top of its market segment and, unlike almost all of its competitors, continues to operate independent of any larger auto manufacturer.
