Vintage: Porsche P1 - The Original Porsche

February 19, 2014

It may be 116 years old but the Porsche P1 is still bang up to date. Before he set about building his auto empire, 23-year-old Ferdinand Porsche designed what's thought to be the world's first electric car. It had a range of 80 kilometers and a top speed of 35 kilometers an hour. Discovered in an old shed in Austria, it's just gone on display at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
