Detailed Description
1948 Porsche 356-A Roadster

The Legendary Porsche 356
The perfect unity of performance and design for its time! This first true Porsche, the 356, named for its design project number was actually built in a small garage in Gmund, Austria. Like the Beetle, the 356 was fitted with a flat-four pushrod air-cooled engine in the rear, yet its gearbox in front of the axle to give the car better balance. It was a 1131 cc flat-four-air-cooled engine which was boosted from 25 bhp to 40 bhp. The torsion-bar rear suspension also had to be turned around which gave the car the characteristic oversteering. The original 356-001 car was raced in the Innsbruck city race, and acheived a victory in the 1100cc class in its very first outing! Later there would be a 2-litre model, producing a very respectful 150bhp. One of the most famous Porsches was the Speedster, a sleek, so-called stripped down version of the 356 that hit the roads in 1954. The aluminum-bodied roadster with its rounded chasis became the prodigal child of the Porsche line, as every model since has resembled it in one form or another. The Roadster was an individual from the get-go and resounded Porsche`s founding ideals of originality and the breaking of new automotive ground!
