1961 | Porsche 356 B 1600 Super

Porsche revised the Porsche 356 A and thus produced the new 356 B (T5) series from 1959. The power range began with the 356 B 1600 and 60 hp and ended with 140 hp in the 356 B 2000 GS Carrera 2.

The difference between the 356 B and the predecessor model is, among other things, the 10 cm higher positioned front bumper with enlarged rim flanges and higher positioned headlights. In addition to the front turn signals, flatter horn grilles with two chrome-plated louvres each are fitted. Another feature is the bonnet handle, which is wider towards the bottom than on the predecessor. Also, the number plate lighting was integrated into the rear bumper and the reversing light was installed below the rear bumper.

From 09.1961 (T6) onwards, revisions were added, such as a front bonnet that was wider at the bottom and a fuel filler cap integrated into the front right wing. Furthermore, two vertically arranged air grilles were integrated into the enlarged bonnet.
