The History of Porsche
Porsche was founded in 1931 in Stuttgart, Germany by Ferdinand Porsche, Adolf Rosenberger and Anton Piech. The brand’s logo actually is of the Stuttgart coat of arms. One of the first assignments the company received was by the German government to manufacture a car for the people. This was when the founders of Porsche created “Volkswagen”. As the word “Volks” translates to people and “wagen” translates to car, so it literally means “people car”. This was when the Volkswagen Beetle was created. Interestingly, the Porsche 64 that was first manufactured in 1939 was created by using some of the same parts as the VW Beetle.
In World War II, the VW Beetle Porsche that had been produced prior to the war, was turned into a military version of the Beetle, for German soldiers to use in war, which was known as the Kubelwagen.
