It was seventy years ago that the very first Porsche sports car was born. On June 8, 1948, the first Porsche, the 356 “No. 1” Roadster, was registered. This car was a realization of Ferry Porsche’s dream.
“Tradition is a commitment. Without our tradition and without our core values, we would not be where we are today,” said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “We plan to uphold the standard of technical excellence set by Ferry Porsche well into the future. Intelligent dynamic mobility has a great future ahead of it. And we have the solid technological expertise, creative employees, and unique team spirit to be involved. We have what it takes to ensure that the Porsche brand continues to fascinate – even in another 70 years.”

To celebrate 70 years of iconic sports cars, Porsche will be holding a number of events across the world. In the U.S. there will be an exhibition called “The Porsche Effect” at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los, Angeles. Porsche will open this event on February 3. Across the world, Porsche will be holding a “Sports Car Together Day” on June 9. You can take part in this event at the Porsche Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
Congratulations to Porsche for continuing to innovate the sports car without forgetting their origins for seventy years. Take a look at the 911 models. Sure, the style has changed over the years, but not enough to where the car forgets what it is and where it came from. You can line up thousands of cars, and spotting a Porsche out of them would be easy, no matter the year or model. Never forget your roots!
