Porsche, the legendary maker of German sports cars, was founded in Stuttgart, a long way from Laguna Beach, in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. In the beginning, Porsche did not make cars, trucks, or SUVs; rather, he offered consulting services and motor vehicle development work. The first Porsche, the Porsche 64, was developed in 1939 using parts and components from the Volkswagen (VW) Beetle. Throughout much of the 1930s and 1940s, Ferdinand Porsche worked with VW on the iconic Beetle.
On June 8, 1948, the Porsche 356/1 Roadster, also known as the "Gmünd Roadster," was road certified, marking the first vehicle to bear the Porsche name. Since 1948, Porsche has had one iconic sports car after another, including:
- 1952 Porsche 550 Spyder
- 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo
- 2014 Porsche Macan Turbo
Porsche Today
Today, Porsche owners in Laguna Beach own and drive many different models of this luxury brand. The current lineup includes:
Porsche 718
The Porsche 718 is often referred to as the Boxster and the Cayman. The Porsche Boxster is a mid-engine, two-seat roadster. The Boxster is one of the more popular Porsche models for Aliso Viejo, CA, Dana Point, CA, and Laguna Beach, CA drivers due to its gorgeous styling, convertible top, and lower entry price compared to other Porsche models. The Porsche Cayman, another two-seat, mid-engine vehicle, is popular with those who prefer a hardtop. Many people from Laguna Beach bring their Porsche Boxster and Porsche Caymans to Laguna Auto Service Center for auto repair and maintenance.
Porsche 911
When people think of Porsche, they often think of the 911. Here at Laguna Auto Service Center, we often perform repairs and maintenance on the 911. The Porsche 911 has set the standard for what a rear-engine sports car should be. Some of the common models of the Porsche 911 are the Carrera and the Targa. The Porsche Carrera is available in a cabriolet and a hardtop, while the Targa name refers to its removable Targa top. Some of the services we offer include Auto Repair, factory scheduled maintenance, and Engine Repair. If you live in the 92651 zip code or beyond, you have likely noticed a head-turning 911 on the local streets.
Porsche Panamera
The Porsche Panamera, which was released in 2010, was a game-changer for Porsche and for Laguna Beach Porsche enthusiasts. The Panamera was the first four-seat Porsche and it maintained the exquisite styling, legendary Porsche performance while accommodating the needs of families with its four door integration. The Panamera made the Porsche brand accessible to a wider range of owners, which ultimately brought more Porsches to Laguna Auto Service Center for service.
Porsche Cayenne
One of the most popular Porsche vehicles in Aliso Viejo, CA, Dana Point, CA, Laguna Beach, CA, and Laguna Niguel, CA is the Porsche Cayenne. The Cayenne brought the SUV to Porsche, meaning Orange County drivers didn’t have to sacrifice cargo space and off-road capabilities for the opportunity to drive a Porsche.
