The Porsche 365/1 is the one of one prototype for the 365 series. It was completed in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria. It has an all aluminum body sitting on a tubular frame featuring a mid-mounted, air cooled 1.131 liter flat 4 cylinder borrowed from Volkswagen and tuned to achieve up to 40 HP. The transmission is an unsynchronized 4 speed manual. The later 365/2 has a rear mounted configuration. It is capable of hitting 100 mph. This car was returned to Porsche in 1958 and after sitting for decades was finally restored and sits in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany.
