The first car that Porsche built has been rediscovered in a barn

by Larra Morris

Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) was an automotive engineer and founder of the car company Porsche. In 1898, he personally built his first car: a 1898 Egger-Lohner electric C2 Phaeton. It had a 3-5 horsepower engine that could propel the car up to 21 MPH. He marked it “P1” because it was his first but certainly not last car.

He took it out onto the streets of Vienna in June of 1898, then participated in a great race in September. Porsche won, passing the finishing line 18 minutes before any other participant did. Then, in 1902, he placed the car in a warehouse. It sat there for a century.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
