Thread: First Porsche Prototype, the Electric P1, Headed to Museum

The first Porsche prototype, the 1898 Porsche Egger-Lohner electric vehicle C. 2 Phaeton Model, is headed to a museum. Porsche's tradition of mounting powerplants in the ass-end of its vehicles goes back further than the casual enthusiast could ever imagine. True, the first Porsche was the 1948 Type 356, but that was only the first Porsche-branded vehicle. The Stuttgart-based automaker just uncovered Ferdinand Porsche's first car, the 1898 Porsche Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C. 2 Phaeton model.
