Portion of?

Hello,

Can "portion of" be used for countable and uncountable nouns?

A portion of cars were...
A portion of rise was...

Or is it used just for uncountable nouns?

Thanks.

And if it can be used for countable nouns, do I have to use THE? Like A portion of THE cars were... Or it is ok to leave out THE if I am talking about cars in general?
