^The design company is or was let by a person named Porsche. I don't know
about his realtionship to the Porsche car company, but I know that there
have been a lot of trials at judge in which Porsche car company wanted to
claim the single use of the name Porsche. But they failed.

Some also interesting: The chief of the board of directors of Volkswagen
(the actual managing director), Ferdinant Piech, is a grandson of Ferdinant
Porsche, who invented the beetle. Also Piech is running Volkswagen only
for fun, because as the grandson of Porsche he owns about 30 % of the
Porsche car company. So one of the major owners of Porsche is managing
Volkswagen now, with tremdeous success.
