The C model, the last evolution of the Porsche 356, was presented in 1962 in Frankfurt, only one year before the year in which the new Porsche 911 was due to reach the market. The various versions of the 1600 received some improvements in cooling and in the alloys to optimise their reliability. The 356 C looks more attractive than ever despite its long and fruitful career of 15 years! Stylistically, it has new wheels, but it fully retains the line of the 356 B. There is no revolution inside either, as the dashboard has only been slightly modified. The seats are more welcoming and the driving position is somewhat better.
* 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.
