First conceived in 1961 for the T7 prototype
We weren't so unquestionable nearly this steam engine's qualifications for WEOTD grade, not because it doesn't quantity up in the awesomeness department but because it's damn near impossible to sum out whether those stickler Porsche engineers be sure to do completely bare-sheet-of-paper redesigned the fixation over and over again (keeping only the general arrangement, mounting hardware, and the bigmouth centers).
