Leif in Calif Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Here's the Mercedes 130h, a rear engine car that shows Porsche's design concept was not unique to him. It had a rear mounted 4 cylinder "boxer" motor. It didn't sell well and was discontinued. Porsche's design was cheaper to produce and hit at just the right time...circa 1950...many years after he drew it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfeil Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Here is the 1932 Porsche/NSU > father and son A working model below. Porsche needed bodies produced to certify for the German labor front, but because it was only a design firm and the factory had not been built, Hitler made Mercedes build bodies for testing.1938. These cars are known as VW30 and 30 cars were produced. Tested by the SS to certify the design, were driven on the finished portions of the Autobahn and into the German alps. <in front of Porsches house 1938 below and the final models and shape.
