  • 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.

  • Audi's Le Mans Return Is Shaping Up
    Audi MediaInfo Audi’s Le Mans return is shaping up • Concept stage for new Audi sports prototype largely completed • Close cooperation with fellow group brand Porsche • First race planned for January 2023 at the Daytona 24 Hours Neuburg a. d. Donau, April 29, 2021 – Audi will return to Le Mans and to sports prototype racing with an electrified sports car in the 2023 season. The successor to the successful Audi R18 is already taking shape. “The new LMDh category fits perfectly with our new set-up in motorsport,” says Julius Seebach, Managing Director Audi Sport GmbH and responsible for Motorsport at Audi. “The regulations allow us to field fascinating race cars in prestigious races worldwide. In addition, we are making use of synergies inside the Volkswagen Group with our partner strategy.” The successor to the Audi R18 is being built in close cooperation with the brands’s sister company Porsche. “A great strengh of the Volkswagen Group is the collaboration of the brands in the development of road cars,” says Seebach. “We are now transferring this proven model to motorsport. Nevertheless, the new sports prototype will be just as much a genuine Audi as the Audi RS e-tron GT that was launched recently and has also been developed on a platform shared with Porsche.” The sports prototype for the new LMDh category is currently being created at Audi Sport in parallel with the innovative SUV for the Dakar Rally. “Of course, the Dakar team is under greater time pressure, because there are only just under eight months left until our first participation in the Dakar Rally in January 2022,” says Andreas Roos, who is responsible for all factory motorsport commitments at Audi Sport.

    AUDI AG 85045 Ingolstadt Germany History of the Four Rings AUDI AG can look back on a very eventful and varied history; its tradition of car and motorcycle manufacturing goes right back to the 19th century. The Audi and Horch brands in the town of Zwickau in Saxony, Wanderer in Chemnitz and DKW in Zschopau all enriched Germany’s automobile industry and contributed to the development of the motor vehicle. These four brands came together in 1932 to form Auto Union AG, the second largest motor-vehicle manufacturer in Germany in terms of total production volume. The new company chose as its emblem four interlinked rings, which even today remind us of the four founder companies. After the Second World War the Soviet occupying power requisitioned and dismantled Auto Union AG’s production facilities in Saxony. Leading company executives made their way to Bavaria, and in 1949 established a new company, Auto Union GmbH, which continued the tradition associated with the four-ring emblem. In 1969, Auto Union GmbH and NSU merged to form Audi NSU Auto Union AG, which since 1985 has been known as AUDI AG and has its head offices in Ingolstadt. The Four Rings remain the company’s identifying symbol. Horch This company’s activities are closely associated with its original founder August Horch, one of Germany’s automobile manufacturing pioneers. After graduating from the Technical Academy in Mittweida, Saxony he worked on engine construction and later as head of the motor vehicle production department of the Carl Benz company in Mannheim. In 1899 he started his own business, Horch & Cie., in Cologne.

Expect cost reductions running into the double-digit million range by 2024.” • First cross-Group application to be linked to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud in 2021 Wolfsburg, July 2, 2020 – In production, the Volkswagen Group is continuously moving ahead with future-oriented technologies and digitalization. “Industrial Computer Vision” image recognition and processing technology is to help improve productivity in production by 30 percent from 2016 to 2025. “The use of this technology offers considerable potential for making our production plants even more efficient. By 2024, we already expect cost reductions running into the double digit million euro range throughout the group,” says Gerd Walker, Head of Volkswagen Group Production. “The focus is on applications which we can develop at one location and then roll out throughout the Group.” The first two Computer Vision solutions from Porsche and Audi are currently being prepared for Group-wide rollout and connection to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud. The Volkswagen Group is already among the leading automakers working with Computer Vision. The process extracts information from optical data, such as the real environment at the plant, which it then evaluates using artificial intelligence (AI). The procedure is similar to the human capability of recognizing, processing and analyzing images. Volkswagen has been working with this technology for several years and is now intensifying its efforts.

We are familiar with the term from the worlds of computer games and sports. Those who have reached a certain level there often move on to the next level right away. This also applies to our work in automotive development: We cannot rest on our laurels. We see this in trends such as artificial intelligence, the use of game engines in vehicle development and future E/E architectures, which we examine in the title series. They exemplify the increasing complexity of our work. We also have to reach the next level in our methods.

  • Further Ordinary Shares in Volkswagen AG Acquired
    Press release 05/20 12. May 2020 Further ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG acquired At 99 million euro, group result after tax down significantly on the prior-year figure in the first quarter / Net liquidity increases to 568 million euro / Forecast for the fiscal year 2020 still uncertain Stuttgart, 12 May 2020. Porsche Automobil Holding SE (Porsche SE), Stuttgart, increased its holding of ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg, to 53.3 percent. In the period from 17 March to 20 April 2020, a total of 0.2 percent of the ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG was acquired in capital market transactions for 81 million euro, of which 26 million euro relates to the first quarter. This latest purchase of ordinary shares highlights Porsche SE’s unwavering commitment to the Volkswagen Group. In light of the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the group result after tax of 99 million euro for the first quarter of 2020 is clearly down on the prior-year figure (1.20 billion euro). This result was significantly influenced by the profit from the investment accounted for at equity in Volkswagen AG of 108 million euro (1.22 billion euro). In the reporting period, the “Intelligent Transport Systems” (ITS) segment generated revenue of 26 million euro, up slightly on the prior-year figure (25 million euro). In this segment, there was a result after tax of minus 5 million euro compared to minus 4 million euro in the first quarter of 2019. This contains effects of minus 2 million euro from the continuation of the purchase price allocation.
