== Ferdinand Porsche's education and prior work == Ferdinand Porsche's father was a professional panel-beater. From a young age, Ferdinand showed a great interest in technology, and was especially intrigued by electricity. He was already attending classes at the Imperial Polytechnical College in Reichenberg (, some from his home) at night, while still helping his father in his workshop by day.
