On September 28, 1899, Porsche drove a C.2 that was entered in the Berlin road race, where it won the gold medal and crossed the finish line 18 minutes before the second car.

It also came out on top in the efficiency test, where it was recorded as the lowest energy consumption vehicle in urban traffic.

[5] This example has been fitted with translucent blue perspex panels by the museum, showing what the original body would have looked like.
