“In the beginning I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.”
Inspired by these words from our founder Ferry Porsche, everyone at Porsche Cars GB is driven by dreams. First realised in 1948 when Ferry created the first Porsche sports car, the 356 ‘No 1’ Roadster, this visionary ethos continues to guide us over seven decades later. Encouraging us all to chase ambition. To fulfil our true potential. To push the limits of what’s possible. To add vibrancy to the everyday. To dream in full colour.
