Porsche

Porsche is a German manufacturer based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg. It was founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche and is today one of the most well-known sports and luxury car manufacturers.

The company first began as a consulting firm for vehicles but began designing and producing vehicles at the start of the second World War which resulted in the design of the Volkswagen Beetle and the production of Porsche 64 (which re-used components of the Beetle).

Ferry Porsche (son of Ferdinand) and Louise Piëch continued with Porsche brand (as a different company; Porsche Konstruktionen as Ferdinand was in prison) which gave the path for the Porsche 356. Ferdinand took over the production of the vehicle in 1950. In 1964, the Porsche 911 was launched which is the successor of the 356 and is one of Porsche's most iconic and well recognized sports cars.

The brand is today owned by Volkswagen AG.

Porsche made its debut in The Crew 2 which was only made possible due to the game publisher Electronic Arts and Porsche having ended their exclusive licensing agreement in 2016. In The Crew, Porsche were loosely featured as RUF, a unique separate company which are using unmarked Porsche chassis for the production of their vehicles.
