Porsche 356 A 1600 S Speedster

Model Year 1958
Engine 4-Zyl. Boxer
Displacement 1582 ccm
Power Output 75 PS (55 kW)
Top Speed 175 km/h

Porsche’s U.S. importer Max Hoffman wants a particular kind of Porsche for North America; he gets it in this lightweight Speedster. A distinguishing feature is the low windshield, which helps improve aerodynamics. The plastic side windows are inserted. The spartanly equipped Speedster is made with several engine versions. The center mountings of the 15-inch wheels are attractive eye-catchers.

Porsche 356 B 1600 S 90 Coupé

Model Year 1963
Engine 4-Zyl. Boxer
Displacement 1582 ccm
Power Output 90 PS (66 kW)
Top Speed 185 km/h

The new Porsche model 356 B shows marked changes: Higher placed headlights have led to different fender contours. Two oval air inlets in the front skirt have been installed to improve cooling for the new light-metal drum brakes. The insignia now appears on the wider trunk-lid handle as well as the wheel caps.
