Driving in its most beautiful form – the Porsche slogan summed it up: With the “Project 356”, Porsche created one of the most fascinating vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s.
On September 1959, the 356 A was replaced by the completely revised 356 B (T5). Its performance range ranged from 60 hp in the 356 B 1600 to 140 hp in the 356 B 2000 GS-GT Carrera 2.
Visually, the B-series differed from the previous model in, among other things, the front bumper, which was positioned approximately ten centimeters higher, with enlarged rim flanges, and the headlights, which were also significantly higher. The horn grilles next to the more protruding front indicators were flatter and had two chrome-plated slats. In addition, the front hood handle became wider towards the bottom. The two lamps for the license plate lighting were integrated into the higher rear bumper, and the reversing light was mounted below the bumper.
On September 1961 (T6), the 356 B received a front hood that was significantly wider towards the bottom and a tank cap in the front right fender. Two vertical air grilles were integrated into the enlarged hood.
All 356 generations were also available in an open version (Cabriolet, Speedster or Roadster).
