The first Porsche ever made has been recovered from a shed in Austria where it sat for over 100 years. The vehicle is called the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model — nicknamed the P1 for short — and was created by Ferdinand Porsche himself in 1898. The following year, Porsche raced the P1 at an electric vehicle exposition in Berlin and took home first place, completing the nearly 25-mile course 18 minutes faster than the next competitor. The P1 has now been moved to Stuttgart, Germany, where it will debut at the Porsche Museum this Friday.
