Porsche 356 1962
General description :
The Porsche 356 was the first production Porsche. Production started in 1948 for this 2 door lightweight rear engine sports car. Created by Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche (son of DR. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company), the engine is a 4 cylinder flat cooled by air and the body design inspired by the VW Beetle (brainchild of Ferdinand Porsche senior). Very rapidly the Porsche 356 made its name famous in competition included the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Mille Miglia and the Targa Florio.

About Porsche 356
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car that was produced from 1948 to 1965. It is considered to be the first production car to bear the Porsche name and is known for its unique design and exceptional performance.The 356 was initially designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1940s as a lightweight and nimble sports car that could be used for racing. The first prototypes were built using Volkswagen components, as Porsche was still closely associated with the German automaker at the time. However, the final design of the 356 was a significant departure from the VW Beetle, and featured a sleek, aerodynamic body that was both beautiful and functional.
Over the years, the 356 evolved through several iterations, each of which added new features and improved performance. The early models were powered by a 1.1-liter flat-four engine that produced around 40 horsepower, while later models featured larger engines with up to 130 horsepower.
Despite its humble beginnings, the Porsche 356 quickly became a favorite among driving enthusiasts, both on the road and the racetrack. Its combination of style, performance, and handling made it a true sports car icon, and it helped to establish Porsche as one of the world's leading automakers. Today, the 356 remains a highly sought-after collector's car, with prices that can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the model and condition.
