Is it pronounced Porsche or Porsche-uh.

Have a bet with friends.

German and a proper name. "Porsh-uh".

A trailing "e" in German is _always_ pronounced as "uh".

"Eine" is "eyen-uh", "Porsche" is "Porsh-uh", etc. But yes, the accent is on the first syllable.

"Porsh-uh"

The only word in English pronounced this way is spelled Portia.
