Taycan

Porsche's first model, the 356. A 4-cylinder, gas powered sports car produced in Gmund, Austria, beginning in 1948. Next to it, Porsche's latest iteration, the fully electric Taycan. Curiously, Ferdinand Porsche began his career in the electrical field. He was the first, while employed by the Lohner company in Vienna, Austria, to produce the world's premier 4-wheel drive electric car, the Lohner-Porsche.
