Car articles about Porsche 356 1100 by year
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.
In order to keep up with the international GT sport in the newly defined 1300 class, Porsche presented a particularly fast Porsche 356 1300 Super in 1953, which had been boosted to 60 hp using recipes from motor racing. The well-known car connoisseur Richard von Frankenberg subjected this new model to an intensive test for the magazine 'hobby' and came to some interesting conclusions. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and shows many pictures of the early Porsche 356.
