The year 1960 was the start of the third episode in the life of the 356, which was heavily revised in terms of styling. The 356 B offers better visibility and more light thanks to a larger glass area. At the front, the headlights are positioned higher and the wings protrude further, as on the 911. New indicators were fitted, whose pointed-arch shape characterises the 356 B. Under the bumper there are two new air intakes intended to cool the brakes better. The exterior mirror is no longer fixed to the front wing, but to the door. Finally, the chrome strip on the bonnet is wider at the bottom. In the cabin, the sound insulation was improved and there are new seats that fit the body better and are more comfortable. The rear seat has a folding backrest that can be split into two parts. Of the entire B coupé production, only 1747 Hardtop coupés were built.
* 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.
