Book: The Story of Porsche 356 No. 1 Roadster

The story of the Porsche 356 No. 1 Roadster

Edition Porsche Museum

The 356 "Number 1" is a dream car par excellence: in 1948, Ferry Porsche fulfilled his long-cherished dream of building his first sports car. It was not only the design of the aluminum body that became a role model. The ideals of driving dynamics and lightweight construction also consistently form the foundation of the brand identity: genes of the 356 "Number 1" can still be found in every Porsche today. The history of the Roadster is as unique as the prototype itself. With photographs and documents, some previously unpublished, this book traces the turbulent life of the Porsche brand's first sports car from the very first design drawing.
