Is that the Porsche Hybrid from circa 1900? If it is, that's the first photo I've seen of it. I've looked hard but have never found one. I also understand he adapted the concept to a "Land Train" - where all wheels were powered by the forward unit with electrical cables running to each "trailer". Basically all wheel drive for all units in the train - could go anywhere at a time when Europe had very few paved roads - but very slow, and ultimately succumbed to a new type of warfare - airplanes dropping bombs by hand on the very slow land train.
Of course - maybe you were referring to something else
Oh, well.....
