Professor Ferdinand Porsche was busy designing and developing his cars from as early as 1896. The first fruit of his endeavours was an electric vehicle known as the Lohner-Porsche. It was driven by wheel-hub motors and it caused a sensation at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. This was soon followed by an even more impressive example of Professor Porsche’s innovative spirit. A racing car boasting 4 wheel-hub electric motors became the world’s first all-wheel drive passenger car and marked the automotive engineering debut of four-wheel brakes. No less visionary was Professor Porsche’s next idea - in 1900, he combined his battery-powered wheel hub drive with a petrol engine, thus creating the serial hybrid drive principle.
