In 1900, Professor Ferdinand Porsche built the first functional hybrid car. Called Semper Vivus, which means “Always Alive,” this historic car has been resurrected 111 years later.
The fully functional Semper Vivus replica, based on original drawings and exhaustive research, is a collaborative effort between Porsche Engineering, Germany, and Karosseriebau Drescher, Germany. It is on display for the first time in the United States at the New York Auto Show, where, Porsche is also unveiling its New Panamera S Hybrid.
