Porsche History - The beginnings

Car
1940s1948youtube

In the car history, the horse figure doesn't only represent Ferrari. There is also the female horse, the symbol of the city of Stuttgart, in the middle of the Porsche shield together with deer's horns and black and red stripes, the emblems of Baden Wurttemberg, the region where the German car producer is based.

In 1948, Ferdinand Porsche, after having creating the Beetle Volkswagen, designed with his son Ferry the first Porsche car, spider 356 using the 4 cylinders engine and other Volkswagen parts. From that moment on numerous 356 coupe models, cabriolets and spiders were created.

Da quel momento i modelli 356 coupé, cabriolet e spider, con motori prodotti dall'azienda, si moltiplicarono e la porsche divenne una realtà anche nel settore delle competizioni con le sue spider.
