Check out the Oldest Surviving Car worked on by Ferdinand Porsche
The Eggers-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, oldest surviving car Ferdinand Porsche worked on
The Porsche Museum has just acquired a significant addition to its permanent exhibition. It is the oldest surviving car that Ferdinand Porsche ever worked on during a lifetime spent in the automobile industry.
Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany
The car is the Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, also known as the Porsche P1. Interestingly, it is not powered by an internal combustion engine. Instead, the Phaeton has an ‘Octagon’ electric motor that made 3 hp with a ‘boost’ up to 5 hp for short periods (achieved by overcharging the motor).
