Unsure how to pronounce Porsche? Hear it straight from the source
No, it's not "Porsh."

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
People vocally butcher car makes and models all the time, but Porsche might get it the worst. How do I know this? Because the company made a video explaining how to pronounce its own name.
It's not hard, folks. There two syllables in Porsche -- "Por" and "Shuh." Put them together, and you get Porsche. It's not Porsh. It's not Parsh. It's not "Por-shee," although I will admit I just made that last one up. here we are in 2016, with an automaker trying desperately to get people to say its name correctly.
Many of you would be wise to bookmark this video, because heaven knows you'll eventually run into some know-it-all who keeps saying "Porsh." When that happens, you'll have the perfect link to send their way.
