Vehicle Description
"Porsche designed the 356 with performance in mind. By refining the
engine from mid-rear to its eventual rear placement, and tweaking
design elements, the 356 was lighter and faster than many of its
contemporaries. As the 356 was further refined for performance, it
shared fewer parts with its sister car, the Volkswagen Beetle." -
