As we’ve had an influx of Porsche’s into storage, it’s clear that the love for these legendary machines is as strong as ever. Here at Country Car Vehicle Storage, we’re thrilled to offer a secure space for these iconic vehicles, safeguarding the legacy of Porsche for both vintage and contemporary models.
Whether you’re captivated by the classic charm of a 356, the iconic design of a 911, or the electrifying power of the Taycan, each Porsche brings its own history and innovation to the road. This week we’re diving into some facts about Porsche’s new and old to celebrate the brand’s remarkable journey and legacy.
The Beginnings: Porsche 356 – The Original Icon
With the production of the Porsche 356 starting in 1948, this model marked the beginning of Porsche's path to becoming a global luxury sports car leader. Just 50 units were made in its first year, making these early models rare treasures in the automotive world. Today, these cars are highly collectible, often selling for hundreds of thousands of pounds—if you’re lucky enough to find one!
Into the Future: The Electric Taycan
In 2019, Porsche introduced its first fully electric model, the Taycan. Combining Porsche’s performance standards with an eco-conscious approach, the Taycan has already broken records, becoming the fastest production EV at Nürburgring. With cutting-edge battery tech and high-speed performance, it brings the brand's innovation full circle.
Appreciating in Value
Porsche’s don’t just hold their value—they often increase in worth, particularly for limited editions and well-maintained models. From the 1980s Porsche 959 to today’s 911 GT3 RS, select models are investment-grade collectibles, with some values soaring into the millions.
Fun Fact: The Porsche crest was sketched on a napkin! In 1952, Porsche's founder Ferry Porsche and the company’s distributor in the U.S., Max Hoffman, discussed the need for a unique logo that represented the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship. Ferry sketched a crest on a napkin in a New York restaurant, inspired by the coat of arms of Stuttgart, Germany, where Porsche is headquartered. The crest, featuring a prancing horse and antlers, remains one of the most recognized automotive symbols in the world today!
