Potato, puhtato… porsha, porsh
Ah — the question that’s more common than Porsche ownership itself: How is Porsche pronounced? Is it “Porsh” or more like “Porsha”?
Consider the matter settled, because it’s the latter: Porsh-uh. Two syllables.
Direct from the source
See the word mentioned at 2:14 in this Porsche 911 ad, and at the beginning of this promo piece about the Porsche Sport Driving School.
It might help to realize that the car was named for famed German automotive design engineer, Dr Ferdinand Porsche, and isn’t some arbitrary made-up product name.
The Singer version
Pictured at the top is our favorite version of the Porsche — the Singer 911 — a “re-interpretation and rebirth of the early performance-focused 911s.” This one was restored by Singer Vehicle Design, a company founded by Rob Dickinson, the co-founder of one of our favorite British bands, Catherine Wheel. So if you have an extra $200,000 to spend (or more), check out the car USA Today called a “modern wonder,” and what Adam Carolla says “might be considered the ultimate 911.”
