#shorts #porsche #facts #car #didyouknow #trivia Did you know the first car Ferdinand Porsche worked on was electric? In 1989 Egger-Lohner unveiled the C.2 Phaeton that was powered by an octagonal electric motor. The motor was designed by Porsche. There is a part that is stamped Porsche P1, but it's unclear when and what that means or if it was specifically credited to Porsche as his first car, but it was definitely his first work. There were 4 of these vehicles built with a range of 50 miles. One is on display at the Porsche Museum although certain pieces have been reconstructed and the gauges aren't original. Is it possible that Porsche started the EV market way back then? I'll leave that for you to decided.
