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

TL;DR: Maisto's 1:18 diecast Porsche No. 1 356 Roadster reproduces the Fish Silver 1948 original built in Gmund, Austria. The car that started the Porsche marque, captured in open-top diecast at an entry price for a vintage sports car collection.

Every Porsche traces back to this one car, and having the No. 1 356 Roadster on a shelf gives any Porsche-themed collection a genuine origin point rather than just another classic sports car.

The Car That Started Porsche

Built in Gmund in 1948, the No. 1 Roadster used a mid-mounted engine layout unlike the rear-engined 356 production cars that followed, making it a distinct engineering chapter rather than simply an early example of the familiar shape. Its aluminium bodywork and open cockpit reflect the small-scale, hand-built nature of Porsche's earliest operation, a world away from the volume manufacturing the marque would later become known for. Fish Silver suits that story well, giving the compact roadster a period-correct, understated finish rather than anything flashy. Maisto's diecast approach favours recognisable, accessible reproductions of significant historic subjects like this one over ultra-fine mechanical accuracy.

Scale, Finish and Where It Fits

At 1:18 the No. 1's compact open-top proportions come across clearly, and the diecast body gives the small roadster a satisfying weight that belies its modest footprint. Expect a straightforward cabin and dependable panel fit rather than showroom-tier finishing, in keeping with an accessible-tier reproduction. Positioned at the head of a Porsche display, ahead of any 356 or 911, this model does real work: it explains where the marque began, and it rewards a collector who wants their Porsche lineup to read as a proper chronology rather than a random assortment of sports cars.
