You are right, Heineudo.
It is an 1897 Egger-Lohner C.2 Phaeton, the first car ever designed by the 23 years old Ferdinand Porsche.
The voiturette was front-wheel driven, each front wheel with an electric motor, initially with a 2.0-kilowatt output that, by 1900, had increased to 3.0 kilowatts.
The car had a wooden chassis and body, powered by a 44 cells 80 volts lead battery, which lasted about 3 hours. It had a top speed of about 25 km/h and weighed about 1000 kilograms.
In 1899, Ferdinand joined Lohner-Werke, an Austrian carriage manufacturer that was the official supplier to the Austrian Imperial Court and the royal houses of Sweden, Romania and Norway.
In 1900 they produced the first Lohner-Porsche Electromobile.
At the 1901 Paris Auto Show, Porsche presented the Semper Vivus, a new car to which Porsche had added a combustion engine providing power for an electric generator, the first hybrid car ever:
A few decades later, Porsche was building tanks for the German Army.
The last one was the Panzer "Elephant".
