1953 Porsche 356
Porsche 356 America Roadster
Year of manufacture – 1953
Engine – 4-Zyl.Boxer
Engine capacity – 1,488 cc
Horsepower – 70 hp (51 kW)
Full speed –177 km/h
The new roadster built exclusively for the North American market weighs much less than the 356 series models produced at the time. Its remarkably low weight of only 605 kilograms is achieved by developing a lightweight aluminum body with a weight-saving door design, side window inserts, and a rain top. The interior is spartanly equipped, as this precursor to the 356 Speedster is designed specifically for racing.
