At that time, the engine was almost an option, so that any engine could be ordered in any existing body. For this reason, the A model alone had 31 different versions of the 356, which we do not want to list here, but only to point out that all the basic models were also available as “Super”, “Carrera” or “Carrera GT”. The Speedster disappeared in 1958 and was not reborn until 30 years later.
* The weight is the maximum measured weight (EC standard).
** The power figures refer to vehicles with a manual gearbox (except Cayenne and Panamera).
*** The value is the one published by Flat6 Magazine or LVA (average of good and very good), which in our opinion is the closest to the market price, with a slight tendency to overvalue older models. For this purpose, the vehicle is assumed to have covered an average of 10,000 km per year. We do not give any value for current models.
