Ferdinand Porsche

Porsche was an engineer best known for developing the original Volkswagen automobile and for his contributions to advanced German tank designs. Entering the automotive industry in 1896, he showed enormous natural aptitude in the field. In Vienna, he snuck into night classes at the Technical University, but received no other formal engineering education. His son, Ferry Porsche, was the eponym for the Porsche automobile, initially based on the Volkswagen Beetle design. How is "Porsche" pronounced?
