Porsche 356 SL Coupé

The collector's model at the entry-level price of the Porsche 356 SL Coupé cuts a fine figure everywhere: in the showcase or on the desk.


In 1948 and 1949, Porsche built 44 Type 356/2 Coupés in Gmünd, Austria. Another eleven body shells moved to Stuttgart to be assembled there. Thanks to their aluminium bodies, the light-alloy coupés offered the best conditions for motorsport. They weighed around 120 kilograms less than the steel body 356 produced by Reutter in Stuttgart from April 1950 and were the first German sports cars to bear the suffix "SL" for "Super Light". In 1951, Porsche ventured into the 24 Hours of Le Mans with one of these 356 SLs for the first time and immediately secured a victory in the class.
