  • The Porsche Type List
    The Porsche Type List When Professor Ferdinand Porsche started his business, the company established a numeric record of projects known as the Type List. As has been reported many times in the past, the list began with Type 7 so that Wanderer-Werke AG did not realize they were the company’s first customer. Of course, as a result, Porsche’s famous car, the 356 as defined on the Type List, was actually Porsche’s 350th design project. In reviewing the Porsche Type List enclosed on this website, you might notice several interesting aspects. First, although there is a strong chronological alignment of Type numbers, it is certainly not perfect. No official explanation exists as to why this occurs. It is possible that Type numbers were originally treated only as an informal configuration and data management tool and today’s rigorous examination of Porsche history is but an aberration of 20/20 hindsight. Secondly, you might also notice that there were variations on Type List numbers that were probably made rather spontaneously. For example, consider the Type 60 with its many “K” variations to designate different body styles. Also consider how the Type 356 was initially a tube frame chassis then changed to a sheet metal chassis with the annotation 356/2 but the /2 later reused to describe different body/engine offerings. Then there were the variants on the 356 annotated as 356 SL, 356A, 356B, and 356C designations and in parallel there were the 356 T1 through 356 T7 designations. Not to mention, of course, the trademark infringement threat that caused the Type 901 to be externally re-designated as the 911.

  • The History of the Porsche Engineering Office the Porsche Sports Car Brand Began in 1948 When the First Vehicle to Carry the Porsche Name Was Built
    newsroom Company Oct 10, 2017 The history of the Porsche engineering office The Porsche sports car brand began in 1948 when the first vehicle to carry the Porsche name was built. Ferdinand Porsche founded his engineering office in 1931. Working until his death in 1951, the exceptionally creative technician, formerly a designer of electric cars and racing cars and the chief developer at Daimler-Benz, laid the foundations for the global company that would later bear the same name. Today, in September 2017, the founding, philosophy and development of Porsche’s predecessor company has been documented in great detail in the book “Porsche: Vom Konstruktionsbüro zur Weltmarke” (“Porsche: From Engineering office to Global Brand”) from publisher Siedler Verlag. The renowned historian Wolfram Pyta tells the story of Porsche GmbH/KG in its turbulent early years: from the origins of the Volkswagen to the transition to a wartime economy under National Socialism and the development of battle tanks, right up to the establishment of the automotive brand carrying the Porsche name. The book outlines the direction in which the creative dynamics of Porsche's founding years under National Socialism led the company, why the company had to undergo a fresh start after the war without its founder and how the global company ultimately emerged from the engineering office of old. Page 1 of 5 Ferdinand Porsche 1937 with a Volkswagen prototype of the series W30 The book devotes particular attention to studying the role of Professor Ferdinand Porsche under National Socialism. The success story of Porsche’s engineering office is closely linked to the “Third Reich” and Adolf Hitler himself.

  • Porsche Mourns the Death of Ferdinand Piëch Ferdinand Piëch, Former Member of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG, Died on 25 August 2019 at the Age of 82
    newsroom Company Aug 27, 2019 Porsche mourns the death of Ferdinand Piëch Ferdinand Piëch, former Member of the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG, died on 25 August 2019 at the age of 82. “The news of his death represents a very sad loss for us. Our thoughts are with Ferdinand Piëch’s family,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “His love of cars and his constant desire to drive forward technical progress will never be forgotten. Piëch was an automotive man through and through,” according to Blume: “We thank him for his passion and the courage with which he led Porsche to outstanding engineering achievements. Through strategic decisions, he laid the foundations for successful development of our company.” The fascination for cars already ran in his blood as the grandson of design engineer Ferdinand Porsche. He began his professional career in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen on 1 April 1963 as an employee in the engine testing department at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche KG. After successful design of an oil cooler for the Type 904 race car and a 180 PS six-cylinder race engine, Piëch became head of the testing department in 1966. The legendary six-cylinder boxer engine of the Porsche 911 was developed to series maturity under his leadership. In 1968, Piëch was appointed Head of Development, before he assumed responsibility for the technology and external development areas in the Executive Board of Porsche KG in 1971. Piëch placed particular importance on professionalisation of the Porsche motor racing department, which achieved countless motorsport successes under his leadership.

A. ‘Butzi’ Porsche (left) and Ferdinand Piëch (right), ca. 1949 Ferdinand Karl Piëch was born in Vienna, Austria, on 17 April 1937, to Louise (daughter to Ferdinand and sister of Ferry Porsche) and Anton Piëch, a lawyer. He was the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, from whom he undoubtedly inherited his love for all things mechanical. www.porscheroadandrace.com A 1966 Porsche 906 which laid the foundation for the generation of Porsche prototype racers that followed from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s Piëch graduated from the ETH Zurich (university for science and technology) in Switzerland in 1962, with a degree in mechanical engineering. His Master’s thesis was unsurprisingly written on the development of a Formula One engine as the Type 804 F1 race car was being developed at Porsche at that time. From 1963 to 1971, he worked at the family firm in Stuttgart where he introduced many significant changes in the company’s policy. As the head of Research & Development, which included motorsport, he was instrumental in the development of the Porsche 906, 910, 907, 908, 909 and of course the iconic Porsche 917 that ruled the circuits up to 1971. www.porscheroadandrace.com A 1968 Porsche 908 LH Coupé in the Porsche Museum, Stuttgart www.porscheroadandrace.com This Porsche 917 LH was entered by John Woolfe Racing in the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours, the first privately entered 917 to compete in this famous endurance race www.porscheroadandrace.com Entered by Zitro Racing, this car was the only privately entered Porsche 917 K at the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours In order to prevent disagreements among the family members who worked at Porsche, Ferry decreed in early 1972 that all Porsche family members were to withdraw from the management of the company.
