Officially designated as the Porsche 356 B Hardtop, the Notchback
Coupe was another two-door fixed-roof variant of the 356 B T5.
Introduced in 1961 and built by Karmann (the same company that
built the VW Karmann Ghia and Convertible VW Beetle), the T5
Notchback coupe was produced only during 1961 for a limited run of
a little over 1,000 cars. It is rumored that the Notchback appeared
because Porsche found many customers in Europe that bought a
Cabriolet with a hardtop and no soft-top, thus assuming there was a
market for a fixed hard-top variant of the 356 Cabriolet. Thus,
they designed the Notchback as a Cabriolet body with a Hardtop
welded in place, with no window frames, and unique interior
finishes around the doors as well as special carpeting. At the end
of 1961, the T5 Notchback evolved into the Porsche 356 B T6
Notchback.
