Linked in its origins to Volkswagen, the company initially offered motor vehicle development work and consulting, but did not build cars until the German government asked them to design a car for the people, “Volkswagen”. This resulted in the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most successful car designs of all time. However Porsche took its own individual brand name properly after World War II when Ferry Porsche decided to build his own car. The first models of what was to become the 356 were built in a small sawmill in Gmünd, Austria. The prototype car was shown to German auto dealers, and when pre-orders reached a set threshold, production (with Aluminium body) was begun by Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH founded by Ferry and Louise. The 356 was road certified in 1948.
