The Porsche 356/1 was the first real car created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche. An extremely advanced design, it proved too complex to build for the small Italian firm (and lead to the financial downfall of the company). It was designed on behalf of Cisitalia by Porsche between 1946–47, and is therefore also known by its Porsche project number, Typ 360. The Cisitalia Grand Prix is a single-seater car for the postwar 1.5-litre supercharged Grand Prix class, built by Italian sports car manufacturer Cisitalia and introduced in 1949. Most mechanical parts came from the VW 38, the prototype of the KdF-Wagen better known as the Volkswagen Beetle. The model number comes from the fact that it was built mainly from design drawings for the Type-64 "record car". The Porsche 64, also known as the Type 64 and Type 60K10, is considered by many to be the first automobile from what was to become the Porsche company, and a true design precursor to the post-war production model.
