The automobile manufacturer (founded in 1931 by the Austrian Ferdinand Porsche)responsible for the 917/30 and the 956 and the 962 cars. Three of the fastest non open-wheel race cars ever made. Also note the fact that they won Le Mans 24 hours a record 16 overall victories (a record still not broken). Porsche used the Kunhle, Kopp and Kausch turbochargers to great effects in the 80's. 911 is their best road car and has gone through several minor face lifts through it's successive generations. The 911 remains to be the most user-friendly, everyday maniac sportscar to buy today. The company is located in Stuttgart.
The Porsche 917 is a race car that gave Porsche its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. Powered by the Type 912 flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9, or 5 liters, the long-tailed version was capable of a 0-62mph time of less than 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 248 mph (394 km/h). In the 1973 CanAm series, the turbocharged version Porsche 917/30 developed over 1100 bhp, and as much as 1500bhp in qualifying tune.

Older models are air cooled, whereas newer models (996 and 997) are water cooled. Considered one of the best sports car manufacturers in the world.

There are many ways to describe a car that has been a symbol for decades. The car makers quality has never been lost on any one. The Porsche symbolizes all that is good in the world. Normally driven by the Hollywood and Malibu high and mighty.
This car has been featured in so many movies and songs that it has been implanted in our brains as the car that you want. Even if your a single dad living in the Sub-urbs that has to take his kids to school every morning.
we've seen porsche start making cars for the common man in past years. the Boxter being one of the first car's Porsche made for a "lower price tag". it was also the second least powerful of the makers sport cars. Leaving much to be desired from us Hard core porsche drivers (mainly those who drive Porsches from the years 1962 to 1990.)

When Carl noticed his receding hairline, the first thing he did was run out to the local Porsche dealership, where he bought a bright red 911 with a rear spoiler the size of a dinig room table.

The best car manufacture on Earth. German precision engineering and total kick ass power. The 911 Turbo is and always will be one of the greatest cars ever.
Porsche also manufactured German tank turrets during WWII. The Pzkpfw VI King Tiger used a Porsche turret.
