Das Porsche Museum ist ein schön Gebäude in Stuttgart. Das Museum hat fast einhundert Autos. Porsche is the most successful company for creating racing cars with a record of winning 19 Le-Mans races. This company was created by Ferdinand Porsche after he worked for both Daimler-Benz and Volkswagen. He started with Mercedes where he developed luxury cars, but soon moves to Volkswagen where he created the Beetle, a car that he believed was a practical and affordable car for people around the world. After this car, he branched off and made his own company developing higher performance and sleek designed cars in the fifties and sixties.


During the '70s Porsche made a quantum leap by defeating Ferrari with their Porsche 917. After several years of developing the car and making the car “street legal” in order to abide by a different set of rules. Here they ran into several issues including the fact that the car was so light and powerful that it flew and violently crashed. After developing proper aerodynamics for the car, Porsche took first second and third in the Le-Mans of 1970. After this, they developed even more powerful racing cars including one that was designed with such an aerodynamic and powerful design, it could drive upside down, once hitting proper speed.

 

Porsche was the first to develop an electric engine in the early 1900s and is pushing into the race for clean cars, including their recent successful Le-Mans racer the Hybrid Porsche 919 which won two Le-Mans in a row. Now they are developing new electric drives, and on the museum floor showed a new design that will battle in the electric car world.

Heute sein wir nach die Porsche Museum gefahren. Die Porsche Museum wurde in 1976 gebaut. Die Porsche Museum hat viele Autos, welche für Fahrung und andere für Rennsport. Porsche wurde in 1931 erfunden bei Ferdinand Porsche. Herr Porsche hat für Mercedes-Benz gearbeitet, aber er verlässt danach Unterschieden aufkommen. Heute hat die Firma von Ferdinand Porsche ein Museum mit mehr als 80 Autos. Natürlich das Museum hat mehr als Autos, mit ein Restaurant, Café  und Geschenkartikelladen. Aber meine Lieblingsteils war die 10-Meter-lange Bildschirm, wo Man unterschiedliche Teile der Autos ein Lied zu machen benutzen kann. Hier habe ich ein Lied bei Cass und ich befestigt. Ich mag Autos aber nicht viel. Jedoch Porsche ist mein Lieblingsautofirma und so es war sehr cool dass ich die ganze Geschichte von Porsche und die Entwicklung der Autos durch den Jahren sehe. Man kann auch eine Porsche  mieten, ob man uber 27 ist (es ist auch sehr teuer aber sie gibt dir das Auto für 3 Stunde). Kurz gesagt das Porsche Museum wurde wunderbar und ich wurde es empfehlen.
