My husband wrote a report on a rare Porsche 356 that he was allowed to test drive. Please take a look if you like.
Porsche was founded in 1931. Its official name is Dr.Ing.h.c.F.Porsche AG, which in Japanese means "Ferdinand Porsche Honorary Doctor of Engineering, Inc.He said it would be "a good idea.
The first car to bear the "Porsche" name was the Porsche 356, which was manufactured from 1948.356 manufactured through 1965It is a long-lived model that has lasted for about 17 years. However, there have been several types (models) in the process, and although at first glance they look similar, a closer look reveals that they are surprisingly different in size and design.
This time, we were given a ride by1964 Porsche 356SCThe owner said that he wanted to drive a late model 356 as much as possible. According to the owner, he wanted to drive a late model 356 as much as possible, so he chose this 356, which is almost the last model.
This restored car is very cool. The black body and white interior are a perfect match with the design that looks great even now.
First of all, the owner drove me in the passenger seat this time. The sound of the door closing and other metallic noises were pleasant. I knew it.All the old car doors sound really good.is done.
The passenger seat is said to be a little worn out, but it is very comfortable, more like a sofa, and a little more luxurious than the seats in the 911.
After lightly warming up the engine and starting off, I was surprised at how comfortable the ride was; I had imagined a flatter, thinner ride due to my preconceived notion that the car was over 50 years old, but it was a Porsche after all.
Very solid ride.The tires are very flat, so they do not feel soggy at all, even when driving around curves. Of course, the tires have a very high flatness ratio, so there is a squishy feel to the tires.The rigidity and firmness of the suspension can be felt even from the passenger seat.The car goes around curves without anxiety.
The engine sound is a rhythmic bobbing, old-fashioned NA horizontally opposed four-cylinder sound, with moderate vibration that matches the atmosphere inside the car.Power-wise, they say it's about 95 hp at 1600 cc, but with a lower gear ratio.So the rpm in the normal range is high, and it also feels solid and powerful.
The suspension, power feel, and engine sound are very well balanced.Fun without flying.It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a typical example of a car that is "a car for the road.
I tried to speed up on the straightaway, but it was more stable than I'd imagined.The owner told me that it can cruise well in the fast speed range on the highway.Yes.
