I would love a Porsche one day - I didn't realize  until recently they were owned by Volkswagen!
I had no idea?  That seems an odd fit.  When was Porsche introduced?
Well, they actually built a VW beetle first! and it was one of the most successful car designs of all time - then they went on to build the first porsche
Does porsche have any hybrid or electric models now?  I think I want my next car to be more climate safe
I'm not sure -their current lineup is the Boxter, the 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne.  One of those may be but I'm not really sure.
The Boxter is my favorite model.  When did the first one come out?
Beetle.
During World War II, Volkswagen production turned to the military version of the Volkswagen Beetle, the Kübelwagen, 52,000 produced, and Schwimmwagen, 15,584 produced. Porsche produced several designs for heavy tanks during the war, losing out to Henschel & Son in both contracts that ultimately led to the Tiger I and the Tiger II. However, not all this work was wasted, as the chassis Porsche designed for the Tiger I was used as the base for the Elefant tank destroyer. Porsche also developed the Maus super-
unit.
The Apal 1200 Saloon was an attractive car based on Volkswagen beetle floorplan. It had a thrust-forward nose with a divided front bumper and a well-sloped curved one-piece windshield. The rear-mounted engine was air-cooled, with cooling air exhausting through a grille in the rounded tail, which also sported a divided rear bumper.
The company's most successful model was called the Apal Speedster and is a replica of the Porsche 356 Speedster, built on a VW Beetle floorplan. Altogether
