While the Porsche 911 claims the spotlight as the marque's most renowned model, the roots of Porsche's legacy delve deeper, notably into the cherished era of the 356. Eclipsed by the 911's fame, the 356 holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. Spanning from 1946 to 1965 across four iterations, the 356 embodies a timeless allure that persists among classic car connoisseurs. Original 356s are elusive, prompting the emergence of replicas like this 1957 Porsche 356 Replica, meticulously adorned with authentic Porsche badging. Fresh from a paint correction and waxing, this classic replica beckons exploration.
Contrary to its German origins, the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica embraces a British Racing Green exterior, complemented by a tonneau cover. A faithful recreation of the original 356's sleek lines, steel wheels, and chrome hubcaps accentuate its aesthetic authenticity. Complete with a tan convertible top and windows, this replica seamlessly combines classic charm with modern versatility. Within the cabin, simplicity reigns supreme. Brown low-backed seats, accompanied by a rear bench, offer modest comfort, the latter better suited for cargo than passengers. A three-dial instrument cluster featuring a tachometer, speedometer, and fuel gauge graces the driver's view. The three-spoke steering wheel, adorned with the Porsche crest, oversees a minimalist ensemble of pedals, a T-bar gear shift knob, and essential controls for lights and wipers. Stripped of distractions, the focus remains steadfast on the pure joy of driving this automotive masterpiece.
Performance expectations for the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica differ markedly from contemporary supercars, as its 1.6L Volkswagen flat-four resides in the rear, echoing the air-cooled heritage shared with vintage Beetles. A conservative estimate places the power output at around 60hp, channeled to the rear wheels through a manual transmission. While not a contender for speed records, the allure of this replica lies in the nostalgic driving experience it faithfully recreates.
The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car from the Forties and Fifties. It was Porsche’s first production model, and is a highly sought-after classic. Only 76,000 were produced, and it is estimated that around half may survive, in various states. Hence, it’s not uncommon for original Porsche 356s to be relatively rare, and expensive when they come on the market. Thankfully, if you want a Porsche 356 to grace your life, you can consider buying an excellent replica, such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica. The car is titled as a 1971 Volkswagen, and has been featured in various car shows over the years. Moreover, the current owner claims that it’s even won some awards and trophies!
Porsche may have very well built their legacy on making fine sports cars, but you can’t butter your bread with that segment only. So, the prolific German automaker turned to a segment that has been growing and growing for around two decades to date. SUVs. Porsche’s first SUV was the Cayenne, introduced in 2002 as a midsize luxury SUV. The Macan followed in 2014, tackling the compact luxury space. These days, the Macan is an excellent entry point for those who wish to own and drive a Porsche, but have got family commitments that need fulfilling. Just check out this 2019 Porsche Macan and you’ll see how it perfectly melds practicality with Porsche performance. This 35,000-mile machine could be yours if you act fast.
