Yes, Porsche did produce tanks during World War II. In the early 1940s, the German military commissioned Porsche to design and produce a heavy tank known as the Porsche Type 180, which later became known as the Porsche Tiger (Porsche Panzerkampfwagen Tiger) or VK 4501 (P). The tank was based on the design of the German Tiger I tank and was intended to be a more advanced and powerful version.
However, due to various technical issues and production delays, the Porsche Tiger never saw mass production, and only a small number of prototypes were built. The tank was eventually deemed unsuitable for combat due to its unreliable engine and mechanical problems.
Despite the failure of the Porsche Tiger, Porsche continued to be involved in tank design and production during the war. In addition to the Porsche Tiger, the company also worked on other armored vehicles, such as the Ferdinand tank destroyer (Elefant) and the Maus super-heavy tank.
After World War II, Porsche ceased its involvement in military vehicle production and shifted its focus back to manufacturing sports cars and civilian vehicles. Today, Porsche is best known for its high-performance sports cars and luxury vehicles.
