Own every Porsche.
Ferdinand Porsche opened a design office in Stuttgart in 1931. His team later drew the Volkswagen Beetle. The first car to bear his name appeared in 1948 in Austria. The company then settled in Stuttgart. No other brand has more overall wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Porsche
1964–1989 · Flat-6
The 911 was first called the 901: the first cars carried that name before Porsche switched to "911" on the engine lid, and it went on sale under that name in 1964. The rear-engined, air-cooled coupé is often cited as the most successful competition car ever.

Porsche
1948–1965
Porsche's first production car was born in Gmünd, Austria, where about 50 were hand-built with aluminium bodies. The very first 356 was road-registered on 8 June 1948 and promptly won its class in a race in Innsbruck. In 1950 production moved to Zuffenhausen, Germany, and switched to steel.

Porsche
1969–1976
The 914 was born of a handshake deal: Volkswagen wanted a new top coupé, Porsche an entry-level car to replace the 912, and VW owed Porsche one last contracted project. The plan fell apart on pricing, and the six-cylinder 914/6 ended up costing little less than a 911T.
