Name: Porsche 356 1962
Brand: Porsche

In 1962, hobby magazine was given the opportunity to test Ferry Porsche's private Porsche Carrera 2. Heinz Kranz was so enthusiastic that he had to use almost half the text to explain that he was not biased and was genuinely neutral. The test car performed extremely well on the racetrack (with Edgar Barth at the wheel), in the city, as well as on country roads and highways. "The car par excellence", was a statement made by the test driver, which calls for an explanation. The restored test report provides these and summarizes the results and findings.
