It's pronounced Porsh-a. I've been to the factory.

I live on the west coast of the U.S., and I have heard it pronounced both ways ... but I have also noticed that the people who live on the west coast seem to 'prefer' the 'porsh' pronunciation, and the ones who live 'east of the Rockie's' prefer the 'Porsha' ... and for some 'really odd reason' that includes people who came from Germany, originally ... and you'd think a German would 'pronounce it properly' since the Porsche is made in Germany!

Have you seen the movie cars? The Car "Sally'' is a porshe and Then Lightning the main character says when he first meets her,"HOLY PORSHA!" so i think it can go either way but i think most people say porshe. i say porshe because i am used to it being said like that because my little Brother loves sport cars and anything fast but i have also heard it said like porsha so either way is the answer that your looking for.

Porsha is the correct way of saying it but I normally will just say Porsh. Sounds better when speaking quickly to someone or whatnot.

It can be pronounced either way. I personally pronounce it Porsh but some of the people i know pronounce it porsha. I think it depends on your own personality.

The inventor, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche pronounced his name Porsha, that is correct name of car. People say Poshe like slang it is easier.

Porsha if you want it written out in English pronunciation. In German, every letter is pronounced, so the final "e" in a German word is pronounced "a".
