How Porsche is pronounced has caught some people out since the company’s earliest days. Is it one or two syllables? Do you pronounce the ‘e’ at the end? Well, we are here to confirm that there are two syllables, and if you’re pronouncing the ‘e’ on the end like an ‘uh’, then you’re on the right track.

Want to hear how it should be pronounced so you can practice it out loud for yourself? Just listen to the video below for all you need to hear.
