On 8 June 1948, the automotive world was introduced to a legend with the approval of the Porsche 356/1 Roadster for production. Initially manufactured in Gmünd, Carinthia, Austria, Porsche built around 50 cars before relocating its factory to Zuffenhausen, Germany, in 1950. Here, the 356 continued its production until April 1965. The original Gmünd Roadster was equipped with a 1.1-litre, air-cooled, four-cylinder boxer engine from Volkswagen, enabling the 585-kg vehicle to achieve speeds up to 135 km/h. Porsche's vision from the outset was to create a sports car that embodied lightness, simplicity, and durability. This focus resulted in a responsive and agile road car that also found success on the racetrack, quickly making Porsche a renowned name in the automotive industry. The 1952-built 356 models, easily identifiable by their single windscreen with a centre crease, were available in open-top versions and were celebrated for their lightweight, nimble handling, and rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.
