Porsche Tried to Buy VW. Then VW Bought Porsche | The Entire History

‪@EmpireTabOpen‬ How did a one-man design office become Porsche, the most iconic sports car brand in the world, and how did it almost take over Volkswagen? This is the entire history of Porsche in 10 minutes, from Ferdinand Porsche’s electric car in 1900 to the Porsche 911, the Cayenne and the 2008 Volkswagen takeover battle. You’ll see how Ferry Porsche built the first Porsche 356 out of scrap parts in an old Austrian sawmill, why the 911 was almost cancelled, how Porsche nearly went bankrupt in the early 1990s, and what the company is facing today.
