In the early 1950s, the Porsche 356 was the car to beat - there was hardly any domestic competition. With a drag coefficient of 0.29 and a cross-sectional area of 1.62 square meters, it ran at over 160 km/h with just 55 hp, outpacing almost all other cars on the autobahn. It was a time when car testers still knew their stuff and could even afford the more expensive items in their descriptions, in this case a Porsche. And they still liked to test drive it again and again, if only to measure progress. This vehicle report dates from 1954 and is illustrated with historical and modern pictures showing the car in its former and present glory.
