Porsche 356 1500 - economical king of the highway (ZQ)

December 23, 2017 — H. U. Wieselmann 35

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.

Porsche 356 Speedster - Purity Law

June 23, 2018 — Bruno von Rotz 55

In 1954, Porsche presented a new version of the 356, the Speedster, which dispensed with all comfort but was also sportier and cheaper. The target market was the Americans, but in a certain sense Switzerland and Austria were the stirrup holders. And what nobody would have thought possible at the time happened. The Speedster became a success and is now worth several times more than the other 356 versions from back then. This article tells the story of the 356 Speedster, provides driving impressions and shows the various models in many pictures.
