The Porsche Principle

October 15th, 2023

"In the beginning, I looked around and could not find the car I'd been dreaming of: a small, lightweight sports car that uses energy efficiently. So I decided to build it myself." -- Ferry Porsche

Born in Bohemia in 1875, Ferdinand Anton Porsche, fondly known as Ferry, displayed an innate aptitude for technology and electricity from a tender age. At just 18, he embarked on his career at Bela Egger & Co Electric, where his five-year tenure culminated in the creation of their inaugural electric wheel-hub motor. Ferry Porsche's professional journey was marked by stints at various firms, each enriched by his influential contributions to the automotive design realm. Notably, he served as the personal chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand during his military service. However, it was in 1931 that Ferry Porsche etched his name indelibly in history. It was then that he founded a company destined for worldwide acclaim, pioneering the design and engineering of high-performance automobiles guided by the enduring ethos encapsulated in the quote above.

At Porsche Columbus, the driving force behind our endeavors is none other than the enduring Porsche Principle, a wellspring of inspiration for our engineers, designers, and executives alike. Our unswerving ambition is to craft the quintessential sports car. With each passing model year, and with every Porsche vehicle's journey from the drawing board to the assembly line and eventually to our showroom floor, we edge ever closer to the realization of this lofty aspiration. Acknowledging that there is still much ground to cover in our quest for vehicular perfection, we draw ceaseless motivation and guidance from the indomitable spirit of the Porsche Principle. In the 21st century, as we ardently champion energy efficiency and pioneer innovative approaches to engineering Porsche models, this principle assumes even greater significance. Much like Ferdinand Porsche himself, we persistently pursue perfection, firmly believing that he would take pride in the accomplishments we have achieved and the unwavering pursuit of excellence that defines our ongoing journey.
