This ex-Californian 356 has been resorted beautifully and modified sympathetically for your pleasure.
The sniping about 911s being nothing but a Volkswagen Beetle is mostly made tongue in cheek, but the 356 is a little harder to separate from its ubiquitous and humdrum cousin. Let’s look at the facts: the 356's original flat-four was lifted straight from the Beetle, and it had the same all-independent torsion-bar suspension and plenty of other carryovers, including the headlights. Oh, and it was, of course, designed by the same man who was behind the Beetle, one Ferdinand Porsche.
Like the 2CV, the 356 arrived in 1948. And yes, its engine was fundamentally a VW unit, but Porsche had not left it stock. He added twin Solex carbs and made many modifications to help boost performance, including using his own exhaust system. All that may have released just 10hp, but the percentage gain was substantial. It also changed the character of the flat-four considerably.
