Top 10 Porsche Model All The Time #1 Porsche 356

Porsche’s 356 was the first Porsche to do, or be, anything. It was the first Porsche-branded vehicle ever built, the first Porsche to win a motor sports competition and the first Porsche to be sold in the United States. In other words, there literally would be no Porsche were it not for the 356. The car’s feathery weight and attention to performance made the 356 a formidable sports car, and owners on both sides of the Atlantic enthusiastically raced them to great success.



During its 18-year production run, Porsche created many variants of the 356, including the America Roadster, the Max Hoffman-inspired 356 Speedster and Karmann-built “Notchback” 356B. Racing versions took home numerous victories, including class wins at Le Mans and the Mille Miglia. No matter the version, the 356 was always beautiful, always fast, and always coveted by all who looked upon it. In other words, the 356 is the embodiment of everything a Porsche is, was and ever will be.
