    “I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself,” Ferry Porsche

    The extraordinary story of the Porsche 356 is also the story of a long transformation. Starting from humble origins, the first Porsche would go on to embody the archetypal sports car. From its small-scale, artisanal beginnings, it later became a worldwide commercial success and a triumph of motorsports. The secret of this success lies in its strong, distinctive personality.

    Steve McQueen, James Dean, late conductor Herbert von Karajan, former French President Georges Pompidou and even the Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis—one of the most internationally renowned personalities of the 1950s and 1960s—all owned this legendary model.

    The Porsche 356 was born out of Ferry Porsche’s ambition to offer a vehicle that combined practicality, elegance, and a compact size. Designed in the fall of 1954 at the request of Max Hoffman, who imported the Porsche brand to the United States, the car was made to appeal to gentleman drivers of the time with a preference for Corvettes or Thunderbirds. With its windshield lowered by 9 cm, the 356 offered rapid acceleration, unbeatable braking power and excellent road holding.

    The Porsche 356 Speedster is the embodiment of German prowess in the automobile industry. It was manufactured for only a few short years, with fewer than 5,000 units produced, further adding to the international acclaim that surrounds this model.
