"Porsche is a German car manufacturer founded in Stuttgart today owned by Volkswagen. The engineer Ferdinand Porsche (1875 - 1951) after having collaborated with Lohner in the creation of hybrid and electric cars also with four-wheel drive, opened, in 1931, his design and engineering office Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche GmbH to which his son, Ferdinand Anton Porsche also known as Ferry was added.During the fascist period, in 1938, Ferdinand Porsche carried out a project on behalf of Adolf Hitler for a car for popular use and thus the Volkswagen Typ 1 or Beetle as better known in Italy was born.After a wait of about 10 years, in 1948, what is to all intents and purposes the first car produced by Porsche was presented, the 356 coupé, convertible and the most renowned Speedster for the American market.The Porsche 356 owes much of its mechanics to the VW Typ 1, in fact, in addition to mounting the same engine with a modified fuel system, it had the c The placement of the engine was also common with the VW, which was mounted in a longitudinal and cantilevered rear position, i.e. beyond the rear axle. In 1963 Ferdinand Alexander Porsche known as Butzi, son of Ferry, designed the 911 again with a cantilevered engine like the 356, a feature that will always be maintained and only in 1998, with the 996 project, exactly like the model, the air cooling was replaced from the liquid cooling system. The term Carrera is, however, a tribute to the Carrera Panamericana car race of 1954 when the Porsche 550 Spyder driven by Hans Hermann finished 3rd; as a tribute to the result obtained, the engine developed by Fuhrmann was called Carrera. The Porsche 964 is the abbreviation of the construction project that indicates the Porsche 911 produced from 1989 to 1993, the Porsche 911-964 are also the first Porsche cars to be equipped with 4-wheel drive (Carrera 4) and two-wheel drive (Carrera 2) as well as the first Porsches to be equipped with the Tiptronic automatic gearbox."
