The roots of the Porsche motor vehicle go back as far as 1897 when Ferdinand
Porsche designed an electric motor for wheel hubs. After designing a variety of
other things, including early aviation engines, Ferdinand Porsche went on to develop
the legendary Mercedes SS and SSK for Daimler in the early 1920's. Branching out
on his own in 1931, he developed the Porsche Type 7 and then became heavily involved
in the design of the Volkswagen - the world's most produced motor car.
