Porsche AG, is really a German automobile manufacturer focusing on high-performance sports cars, SUVs and sedans. Porsche AG is headquartered in Stuttgart, and is particularly owned by Volkswagen AG, that is itself majority-of Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Porsche's current lineup includes the 718 Boxster/Cayman, 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne.Porsche's logo design was based on the coat of arms from the Free People's State of Württemberg of former Weimar Germany, which in fact had Stuttgart since it's capital. (The same arms were put to use by Württemberg-Hohenzollern from 1945-1952, while Stuttgart throughout these years was the main town of adjacent Württemberg-Baden.) The arms of Stuttgart was put in the middle being an inescutcheon, ever since the cars were manufactured in Stuttgart. The heraldic symbols were and also the texts "Porsche" and "Stuttgart", which signifies that it is not a coat of arms since heraldic achievements never stipulate the name on the armiger nor the armigers area in the shield.Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern became part with the present land of Baden-Württemberg in 1952 following political consolidation of West Germany in 1949, along with the old design in the arms of Württemberg now only lives on from the Porsche logo. On 30 January 1951, shortly before the introduction of Baden-Württemberg, Ferdinand Porsche died from complications carrying out a stroke.
