About the Porsche No. 1 Typ 356 Roadster Silver Maisto 1:18

TL;DR: Maisto's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Porsche 356 No. 1 Roadster in silver, the first car ever built under the Porsche name in 1948. Diecast construction captures the compact, lightweight open-top bodywork that started an entire manufacturer's lineage.

Every Porsche on the road today, from the humblest Boxster to the fastest 911, traces its lineage back to this single, unassuming roadster.

The Car That Started the Porsche Name

Built in 1948, the 356 No. 1 Roadster was the first vehicle to carry the Porsche badge as a standalone manufacturer rather than a consultancy building cars for other brands, a genuinely small and lightweight open-top design that bore little resemblance to the flagship sports cars the name would later become synonymous with. Its rounded, minimal bodywork and compact proportions reflect the modest resources available to the fledgling company at the time, a stark contrast to the far more substantial 356 production cars that followed within a few short years. This diecast reproduces that original shape faithfully in silver, letting collectors trace the marque's design lineage back to its true starting point.

Accessible Diecast for a Foundational Original

Maisto's diecast delivers a solid metal body with clean, simple surfacing befitting the No. 1's minimalist original design, without the fine detailing a premium resin build might add. That accessible pricing makes real sense here, letting a much wider range of collectors add a genuinely foundational piece of Porsche history to their shelf rather than reserving it for those willing to pay investment-tier prices. Displayed at the start of a Porsche lineage collection, ahead of any 356 production car or 911, this No. 1 Roadster gives the whole display a genuine point of origin.
