As the successor to the Porsche 356 Pre-A and designed by Erwin Komenda, this car set new standards in performance and design. The car was equipped with an air-cooled 1.6-liter boxer engine, which produced between 60 horsepower and 75 horsepower depending on the model. Weighing around 1,895 lbs and reaching a top speed of approximately 109 mph, the Porsche 356 A embodied both sporty performance and elegant design. An interesting fact is that in 1955, the first McDonald's outside of California opened, marking the beginning of the famous rock n' roll era of the 50s to provide context for the car's era.
