The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Ferdinand Porsche
- Change is easy. Improvement is far more difficult
- Life itself is a race, marked by a start, and a finish. It is what we learn during the race, and how we apply it, that determines whether our participation has had particular value. If we learn from each success, and each failure, and improve ourselves through this process, then at the end, we have fulfilled our potential and performed well.
- I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.
- Porsche….there is no substitute
- If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.
- Design must be functional and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics, without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained.
- In the beginning I looked around and, not finding the automobile of my dreams, decided to build it myself.
- The perfect racing car crosses the finish line first and subsequently falls into its component parts.
- Committees are, by nature, timid. They are based on the premise of safety in numbers; content to survive inconspicuously, rather than take risks and move independently ahead. Without independence, without the freedom for new ideas to be tried, to fail, and to ultimately succeed, the world will not move ahead, but rather live in fear of it’s own potential.
- Good design should be honest.
Ferdinand Porsche (1875–1951) was an Austrian automotive engineer and founder of the Porsche car company. Born in Vratislavice, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Porsche displayed an early interest in electricity and mechanics.
He began his career working for a series of automotive companies, where he designed innovative vehicles, including the first hybrid car in 1901.
In 1931, Porsche founded his own engineering firm, where he developed the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in history. His designs were not limited to consumer vehicles; during World War II, he also worked on military projects, including tanks and other war machinery, which later led to his brief imprisonment after the war.
Despite the controversies surrounding his work during the war, Porsche’s legacy endures through the sports car company he established, which became renowned for its engineering excellence and high-performance vehicles.
