History
Following the success of the original 356 (now known as the “Pre-A”), the 356A was introduced. It was part of the factory designation “Technical Program 1” (T1), followed by a revision in 1957 that resulted in T2.
Changes to the outside of the 356 were minimal, but a larger 1600cc engine was introduced along with revised suspension and wider tires. A keener eye will notice the addition of a rub strip below the doors and the use of enamel paint in place of lacquer. Interior changes were similarly minor with a flat-face dashboard following the contour of the now curved instead of the bent windscreen. Other options were the provision for a modern radio, courtesy dome lighting, and an optional dash clock.
The 356A was available with a total of five different four-cylinder engines, ranging from the 1300cc unit with 44bhp to the 1500cc Carrera GS with 100bhp. From its inception, the Porsche 356 was engineered and constructed to make the most of its competition pedigree. This is shown in abundance in the road manners and handling. While other manufacturers were using increased capacity engines to gain performance, Porsche concentrated on lightness and engineering balance to achieve this goal out-performing comparative machinery with sometimes twice the horsepower. Any 356A is a desirable car. The car's long-standing appeal has been enhanced over the years by competition success and the growth of the Porsche brand as a whole.
