1960 - 1963 Porsche 356s
Now clearly aimed at the American market, the 356 was fitted with taller bumpers and more upright headlights in 1960, and the car was now called the 356B. Purists lamented the subtle restyle, but technological advancements made up for the aesthetic transgression. Better brakes, better transmission, improved suspension, and a new "Super 90" engine (96.5-ci, 90-hp) added up to the best-performing 356 yet.
The model got its last major body revision during mid-year 1962, with an external fuel filler, larger windshield and rear window, added space under the hood, and the option of a power sun roof—a highly desirable feature for any Porsche. |
