Chasing perfection

It took 356 attempts to get the 1961 Porsche 356B Coupe just right

The Porsche 356 was the first car Ferdinand Porsche ever produced for the public. So why was it called the 356 and not, say, the number one? Because it was the 356th design of the manufacturer’s desk. That’s how dedicated Ferdinand Porsche was to getting the details right, and he certainly did with the 356’s pleasingly aerodynamic shape, famously nimble handling, rear engine, and rear-wheel drive.

Porsche continued to innovate and tweak his design, and this highly detailed 1:24 scale die-cast model of the 1961 Porsche 356B Coupé is true to Porsche’s vision. The 1961 356B improved on the original with slightly raised headlights, enlarged rim guards, and more prominent indicators. With this model you can soak in all the details, including opening doors so you can peer inside and fully functioning steering. And, it’s ready to rev up your collection.
