Among Porsche’s range of renowned sports and luxury cars are the 911, the Boxster, the Cayenne, and the Cayman. The 911 is reputed to be the most popular car made by Porsche. It is considered as the dream car of every sports car enthusiast. Porsche is reported to be releasing in the market eco-friendly hybrid cars in the near future.

The company’s success in manufacturing high-quality cars can be attributed to its innovative engineering and craftsmanship. Cars made by Porsche are known to execute well in the race tracks. Its cars are elegantly designed while having a superior engine performance. Porsche still continues to pioneer in developing new race cars, thanks to its top-rated engineering capabilities.

Porsche has indicated that it is soon to launch a hybrid version of its Cayenne and Panamera models. These hybrid cars will run under reduced fuel consumption with electric motors being installed. The carmaker said the hybrid car’s performance will be superb. The Cayenne hybrid, which will use a 34kW electric motor, is expected to be launched sometime this year or early next year. The Panamera hybrid will be introduced around 2010. The same technology in the Cayenne hybrid will be used in the Panamera version.

Since its founding in the 1930s, Porsche has become an icon in the automobile industry today. Its products are highly acclaimed even by its rivals. The company is now a leader in the industry. Porsche is now doing consultancy services to some of its competitors including Harley-Davidson, Daewoo and Subaru. These companies seek the services of Porsche in developing and designing their own models.

Recently, the Stuttgart, a Germany-based carmaker increased its stake in Volkswagen A.G., another popular German car manufacturer especially popular with contract hire users. It now owns around 30% of shares in Volkswagen, although observers are saying the company may have owned more. German laws do not allow a stockholder to own more than 30% of shares in Volkswagen. Porsche is determined to take over control of the Volkswagen firm. It is interesting to note, meanwhile, that Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche created the first Volkswagen car. He designed the Type 32 model, the predecessor of the Volkswagen Beetle.
