Learn More About the Porsche Principle

"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

Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche, better known as Ferry, was born into the heart of Bohemia in 1875. From an early age, he showed a remarkable talent for technology and a particular fascination with electricity. By the age of 18, Ferry had already begun his professional journey at Bela Egger & Co Electric. During his five years there, he made significant strides, notably inventing their first electric wheel-hub motor. His career thereafter was a mosaic of positions across various companies, where he left a lasting impact on automotive design. Notably, he once served as the personal chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand as part of his military service. Yet, the pinnacle of Ferry Porsche's career came in 1931, with the founding of his own company. This venture not only brought him worldwide fame but also marked the beginning of an era of high-performance vehicles that were a direct embodiment of his vision and technical prowess. This move solidified Ferry Porsche's legacy, making his name synonymous with innovation and excellence in the automobile industry.
