Quote of the day by Ferry Porsche: 'I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself'

Ferry Porsches widely known quote, I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself, reflects the mindset that led to the creation of the Porsche 356 in 1948. At a time when the market lacked the kind of lightweight, agile sports car he wanted, he decided to design one himself. The result was the 356 No 1 Roadster, which laid the foundation for the Porsche brand.
