Ferdinand Porsche

"I wasn't interested in building fast cars… I was interested in building what no one thought possible." 🛠️🏁

My name is Ferdinand Porsche — and while today my name echoes across racetracks around the world, my journey began in quiet corners… inside a small workshop in an Austrian village. My father wanted me to become a plumber. But even as a boy, I was obsessed with electricity and mechanics. I would spend hours dismantling clocks and motors, even if I had no idea how to put them back together. ⚙️🔧

When I was young, no one believed in me. I had no formal education, and engineers looked at me as just a laborer with impossible dreams. At 23, I worked at an electric company, but my heart longed for something else: to create a machine that combined efficiency, beauty, and speed. I failed many times. I lost jobs. I even watched as others took credit for my designs. But I kept going. Again and again. Because it wasn't about money — it was about an idea. 🧠💥

In 1931, I founded my own company with almost no capital but with a crystal-clear vision. The road was brutal. I had to take on projects that didn’t always align with my heart. During the war, I nearly lost everything. But even then, with the help of my son Ferry, we created the first car to bear our name: the Porsche 356. It wasn’t just a car. It was proof that even in the darkest times, passion can forge a path. 🚘🔥

"Porsche wasn't born from luxury — it was born from a dream that even bombs couldn’t destroy." 💣💡

"Sometimes you don't need a clear path… you just need to keep your engine running." 🚗⚡
