Porsche 356 A Carrera GS 1500
In 1956 Porsche was on a production number of 10,000 cars and their racing skills were often proven on track and on long-term rallies. Several victories and podium places in the illustrious Carrera Panamericana gave them the idea to create a model of the 356 with the engine of the 550 Spyder.
They installed a slightly down-dated version of the complicated 1.5-liter engine, developed by Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann, in the 356, and so the 356 GS was born. The engine itself is a true technical feat, the assembly only took 120 hours, by an experienced engine builder !! The car was presented at the Frankfurt Motor show with the name Carrera, a name that to date associates itself with the fast production cars of Porsche!
