Description
By the time the 356C entered production in 1963, Porsche's first model had become a very refined sports car and had attracted a large following of very satisfied owners. Although visually similar to the 356B, it was improved in many small aspects. For example, the seats were more sporting, the wheel studs were closer together and were covered by a different hubcap, a thicker anti-roll bar improved handling and the car featured four-wheel disc brakes. Thanks to these improvements, most 356 enthusiasts regard the 'C' as offering the best combination of comfort and performance of all 356 models. The model was available with a 1582cc flat-four in two states of engine tune - 75HP 'C' and 95HP 'SC' - the latter giving the car true sports car performance.
