Great question and ultimately the answer is that it is derived from Italian.

Every time a Ferrari would get passed while they sat lifeless on European streets and race tracks, all could hear the drivers exclaim; PORCH...UGGHH. This smokers cough UGGHH sound was eventually shortened to the similar sounding letter A making it PORSCHA.
