Porche AG, correctly pronounced as pour-sha 1, but some English speakers use the incorrect pronunciation porsh ) is a German manufacturer of sports cars, founded in 1931 by Ferdinand oPrsche , the engineer who created the first Volkswagen. The company is located in Zuffenhausen, a city district of Stuttgart. Porsche has a reputation for producing vehicles that, despite their high performance, are reliable and tractable enough to beused for daily driving, and of high manufacturing quality and durability, but perhaps less visual excitement than theircompetitors. This reputation is contrasted with that of Ferrari, their maincompetitor, whose machines are famous for their design flair and temperamental nature. Porsche has for many years offered consultancy services to various other car manufacturers. Studebaker, Seat, Daewoo and Subaru have consulted Porshe on engineering for their cars. The headquarters and main factory are still at Zuffenhausen, but for the Cayenne there is a new plant at Leipzig. Most Boxster production is outsourced to Valmet Automotive in Finland.
