Leading evidence: 'auto-correct' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'auto-correct' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check wanna-be's, if they say porsch' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

It's my way of checking the wanna-be's, if they say PORSCH, then, oh well...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

There is no silent e in German. FWIW, a quick-start guide that came with my 718 has a small section labeled "hints". It has only two entries, described as Porsche culture. The ignition is always on the left and the name is pronounced "Porsh-uh, (two syllables)". End of discussion.

I completely agree with �who cares, say it however you want�, but there
is
a correct and incorrect way to pronounce it. Porsche produced the video above, and the manual referenced above. That is how they pronounce the name of their company. Any other pronunciation is incorrect, regardless of opinions to the contrary. That being said, who cares? Call it whatever you want, it�s just a car.
Obviously its just a car, I'm asking because it is said both ways and I was wondering the correct way. If I heard people call Chevy either Cheveee or Chevay I would ask the same.
I like going to the local PCA club and calling my cars "Porsch" vs. Porsch-A just to mess with them. Some are okay, but most are rich guys that don't work on their cars. I feel in US English, we can call it "Porsch".
My daughters girlfriends name is Portia and some cal her Poor T A ! So should she not correct people? Its pronounced the same as the car company she tells them and then they Porsch? She just rolls her eyes...
My GF name is Sophie but most people try to call her Sofia because that is what they seem to know should she not correct them either?
If you understand what car someone is talking about when it's pronounced either way, then it's not worth worrying about.
I always said "Porshhh" but when I got older and found out how Germans say it, I try to remember to say it "Porsha".
i say it �Porsche�. Just as all the Germans do. Ferdi was ethnic German and would have pronounced it just the same, despite being born in the Austin-Hungarian empire. He was German (by ethnicity and language).
Ferdinand was more Czechoslovakian than German really. Their family last name got germanized from prochazka to Porsche when they immigrated.
Hard to find sources on this.
I just spent a few minutes searching and found evidence that the name �Porsche� was used by Ferdinand and at least his father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather.
Start here

the last link in the Referenced section points to here:

On that page you can find the baptismal records of his great grandfather Antonius, born to Wenceslaus Porsche in 1778.

It�s Porsche. 😀
Well, if we are going to get technical: Czechoslovakia (a country i.e. political state) didn't exist until after F.Porsche was born. The Czech people certainly existed and his birthplace was in Bohemia, a Czech part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Czech refers both to the Slavic people who are Czechs and also anyone who was born in a Czech area whether they were German or Czech speaking and of Slavic (true Czech) or non-Slavic (German) ancestry. Of course things are fluid as families intermarry and move around the region.
The village he was born into was next to (and is now part of) a city that was more German than Czech. It had two names, and went under the German name Reichenberg during the pre-WWI period. You can see it NNE of Prague in this picture showing language usage as late as 1937. Germany annexed the Sudetenland, including Porsche's birthplace, with the argument that these were German people. I'm not a fan of this, Germany was marching the world to war.
Porsche became a Czechoslovakian citizen after that country was formed and then in the 1930's took German citizenship, prior to the annexation, because of the ****'s distrust of Slavs (and therefore Czechoslovakia) as sub-human.
We digress. German people were not confined to the borders of modern day Germany, and were in fact all over the region.
Good point. However, mispronouncing Porsche would be similar to mispronouncing Chevrolet since it is also a family name. "Chevy" is colloquial as in a nickname. Calling a Corvette just a "vette", is different since the word "Corvette" did not originate from a family name.
But who really cares. People come up to me all the time and say, "Wow, that's a nice Porsch!" I don't go etymology-ninja on them. I just say thank you and get to know them a little.
In Europe, everyone says "
PORSHHHH" according to German pronunciation. But I don't really care as long as we are talking about the same fabulous car...
Are you talking about the
Trabant?
(/ˈtr�b�nt, -ənt/; German: [tʁaˈbant]) is an automobile which was produced from 1957 to 1990 by former East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau.
