The 356B was yet another refinement of Porsche's 356, which had defined Porsche through its short lifespan. The 356B was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1959, but without a Carrera model. The Carrera model was reintroduced at the same show two years later, aimed at elite Porsche buyers and racers. The fastest model offered, it was powered by a 1.6-liter, four-cam engine producing 134 horsepower.
