Porsche's First Car Found After Being Left In A Shed For 112 Years


The first Porsche car ever built has been untouched since 1902. Officially called the Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, this electric car from 1898 has 'P1' engraved onto all of the key components standing for Porsche 1, done by the then 23-years old Ferdinand Porsche himself.

The P1 took to the streets of Vienna on June 26, 1898, making it one of the first vehicles registered in Austria. The car has now been moved to Stuttgart, Germany, where it can be seen at the Porsche Museum.
