Porsche 356 A 1600 Super

In 1956, eight years after 356 production commenced, Porsche announced a series of updates to the car – enough to warrant the designation, « 356 A ». Styling was largely the same as most of the changes were mechanical, though s new curved windshield made for a significantly more modern appearance. New alloy engines and updated suspension/drivetrain mounting changes brought additional performance and improved handling. Inside, a new dashboard and a lower floor increased safety and comfort.

For 1957, a second series of upgrades, dubbed the ‘T2’ body, further set the 356 A apart from earlier models. Through-bumper exhaust, Zenith carburetors, and updated crankshafts were the most notable adjustments. Today, early 356s are often just as valuable, if not more so, than their later counterparts for their relative rarity and « more pure » styling, making them ideal choices for any investor or enthusiast’s collection.
