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.

Caramba Carrera - Porsche 356 Carrera in the (historic) test

September 15, 2018 — R. A. Sant 15

With the 'Carrera', Porsche launched the most powerful 356 in 1955. 105 and 110 hp respectively seemed almost astronomical for a 1.6-liter engine in the mid-fifties, so the Porsche engineers had to dig deep into their bag of tricks and technology and draw on their motorsport experience. It almost goes without saying that the world and the magazine 'hobby' were impressed by the result. This article reproduces the text of a driving report at the time, including the test values. The Carrera is shown in historical photographs.

Porsche 356 A 1600 Super - when 75 hp still guaranteed superior sportiness

September 9, 2017 — Bruno von Rotz 75

In 1955, Porsche presented the updated 356 A. The design had been modified and the 1.6-liter engine at the rear now produced up to 75 hp. This made it one of the fastest cars on the road and one of the most beautiful anyway. This driving report portrays a Porsche 356 A 1600 Super from 1957 and places it in the Porsche product family tree, supplemented by historical documents and pictures.
