Specification
1,582 cc OHV air-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine,
outputting 95HP, with dual 40 Solex carburetors, four-speed manual
741 transmission, independent front suspension with laminated
torsion bars, parallel trailing arms, and tubular shock absorbers,
independent rear swing axles with torsion bars and tubular shock
absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. The 356 SC is
truly one of the BEST 356s to drive.
History
The 356 was a lightweight and nimble-handling rear-engine
rear-wheel-drive 2-door sports car available in hardtop coup� and
open configurations. Engineering innovations continued during the
years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and
popularity. However, when the T6 got disc brakes in 1964, with no
other visible alterations, they called it the model C, or the SC
when it had the optional extra powerful engine. The last revision
of the 356 was the 356C introduced for the 1964 model year. It
featured disc brakes all round, as well as an option for the most
powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced, the 95-horse
power (71 kW) "SC".
