McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Unsung Classics: Why You Should Invest In A Transaxle Porsche

By Tyler Rampersaud – June 22, 2026

The Best Transaxle Porsches For Sale

When asked to recall a Porsche, you would be forgiven for thinking of the 911. It’s one of the most ubiquitous cars ever made, and after over 60 years, it’s certainly one of the greatest sports cars of all time. However, Porsche’s 75 year history has featured many icons besides the 911, including mid-engined and even front-engined supercars, and when those cars, which are excellent in their own right, wear the same name as the mighty 911, they go underappreciated. Porsche’s transaxle era featured a range of front-engine Porsche sports cars that have since become iconic classics, and while they of course aren’t nearly as recognizable as the 911, Porsche’s transaxle models featured innovations and breakthroughs that have been integral to the manufacturer’s status as a performance engineering stalwart, and the cars from this era capture a period of Porsche history with ambitious experimentation. Now, they’ve become cherished classics that should have a place in any Porsche enthusiast or collector’s garage. View a selection of Porsche transaxle cars for sale below. What is a transaxle? “Transaxle” is a term used to describe a vehicle whose transmission is combined with the axle. In the case of Porsche’s transaxle models, this meant that the engine was at the front, and the transmission was at the rear. This helped optimize weight distribution and offered superior handling as a result. At the time in which Porsche introduced its transaxle sports cars in 1976, it was a novel concept. Other cars that have employed transaxles include the Aston Martin DB9, Chevrolet Corvette, Maserati GranTurismo, Alfa Romeo 8C, Nissan GT-R, Lexus LFA, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Ferrari California, and many more. What are Porsche’s transaxle models? The front-engine, rear-wheel drive models that comprised Porsche’s “transaxle era” are the 924, 928, 944, and 968. 924 (1976-1988) This was Porsche’s first front-engine transaxle sports car, introduced in 1976. It began life as a Volkswagen project, which was developed and then scrapped in light of the oil crisis in the early 1970s. Porsche then bought the rights to the new sports car in late 1974, and then went on to bring it to market for the 1976 model year. The car featured a four-cylinder engine, the first water-cooled engine that Porsche would use in a roadgoing car, and with ample interior room, it was lauded as a “family sports station wagon.” 928 (1977-1995) Just one year after the 924 was introduced, Porsche introduced the 928 with a V8 engine. It boasted supercar performance for its time and was still a practical and usable vehicle. Being produced for nearly 20 years, the Porsche 928 was revolutionary. 944 (1982-1991) Porsche’s second four-cylinder transaxle model was the 944, which evolved the 924 formula with a relatively fuel-efficient powertrain that was also offered as a cabriolet model. 968 (1991-1995) Alongside the 928, Porsche’s last font-engine transaxle model was the 968, which succeeded the 944 as a four-cylinder model. Offered as a coupe and a cabriolet, it was the final evolution of Porsche’s intriguing “transaxle era.” Porsche wouldn't make another front-engine car until the Cayenne was introduced in 2003.

Singer vs. Gunther Werks: Which Is The Better Air-Cooled 911 Magician?

By Tyler Rampersaud – May 14, 2026

Singer Vehicle Design vs Gunther Werks

If you’re a car enthusiast, or even if you’re not, you likely know about the Porsche 911 and that it’s one of, if not the world’s most iconic sports cars with its unmistakable silhouette, rear-mounted engine and unparalleled driving character. If you’re one of the Porsche 911’s many fans, however, you might have heard of one or both of these names: Singer Vehicle Design and Gunther Werks. Both are specialists in transforming the beloved air-cooled Porsche 911 into bespoke, modernized performance masterpieces, but what sets each apart? With different approaches to transforming the Porsche 911, different visual styles, and different generations of the Porsche 911 restored, we’re answering the question: What is the difference between Gunther Werks and Singer Vehicle Design? View All Porsche 911s For Sale Singer Vehicle Design vs. Gunther Werks: Porsche 911 Generations Singer Vehicle Design specifically specializes in transforming the 964 generation of the Porsche 911, which lasted from 1989 to 1994. Meanwhile, Gunther Werks is known for its 993 Porsche 911-based creations, the final generation of the Porsche 911 to sport an air-cooled engine between 1995 and 1998. Image Source: Gunther Werks Image Source: Singer Vehicle Design Singer Vehicle Design vs. Gunther Werks: Style and Design Singer modernizes, overhauls, and revamps the performance of its Porsche 911 creations and creates bespoke configurations for its clients for each commission. It boasts a style that looks much like the original car, often featuring the same bumpers, ducktail spoilers, Fuchs-style wheels, and cladding as the original 964 donor cars. The interiors feature classic-inspired touches like woven leather and modern touches like exposed carbon fiber. On the other hand, Gunther Werks is known for combining the retro silhouette and aesthetic of the original 911s it transforms while adding modern touches in the design, such as LED lights, exposed carbon fiber, modernized bespoke interiors, and more. Gunther Werks also offers a Speedster body style inspired by Porsche’s various 911 Speedster models. Singer Vehicle Design vs. Gunther Werks: Performance Singer Vehicle Design and Gunther Werks imbue the Porsche 911 with formidable modernized performance that will keep up with some of the most potent modern performance machines. Gunther Werks uses a 4.0-liter flat-six engine built by Rothsport Racing in Oregon. In the Turbo, Gunther Werks’ most powerful restoration program, the engine is twin-turbocharged, revs to 7500 rpm, and produces as much as 700 horsepower in its Track Mode setting. Meanwhile, Singer Vehicle Design’s most powerful engine is restored from the original 964 engine, resulting in a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six with over 700 horsepower at over 9000 rpm. It includes electric wastegates, an air-to-water intercooler, and an electrically powered fan mounted horizontally. Both firms pair their engines with a six-speed manual transmission, preserving the air-cooled 911’s purist, old-school driving character. Different customization and restoration programs from both firms offer varying levels of performance and track readiness. Racing-ready bucket seats, roll cages, and other aspects of the restorations can be equipped to bring purist nostalgia and modern performance to the circuit. Image Source: Singer Vehicle Design Image Source: Gunther Werks Singer Vehicle Design vs. Gunther Werks: Price On the second-hand market, laboriously created, expensive, and highly exclusive commissions from Singer Vehicle Design and Gunther Werks often demand prices well over $1 million, making both Singer Porsche 911 for sale examples and Gunther Werks Porsche 911 for sale examples collector-grade masterpieces and excellent, unique examples of air-cooled Porsche 911 history. Singer Vehicle Design vs. Gunther Werks: Lineup Singer Vehicle Design has four different models, or “Studies,” as they’re called by the firm. The Classic Study modernizes and reimagines the 964 Porsche 911 while retaining its classic look and feel. The Dynamics and Lightweighting Study adds more aggressive aerodynamics and weight savings, inspired by Formula 1 racing knowledge for advanced performance. The Turbo Study integrates turbocharging for incredible power and a modern evolution of the formidable performance introduced in the form of the Porsche 911 Turbo. The Dynamics and Lightweighting Study - Turbo adds turbocharging to the original Dynamics and Lightweighting Study philosophy with a racing-ready body kit, celebrating and inspired by the historic 934/5 endurance racers. Gunter Werks features three models: the Coupe, the Turbo, and the Speedster. The Coupe is its signature transformation of the 993 Porsche 911 coupe. At the same time, the Speedster transforms it into an open-top thriller that uses modern technologies and innovations to maintain robust structural rigidity. It is inspired by the past Porsche 911 Speedster models. The Turbo offers a much more powerful, turbocharged take on the 993 911, an evolution of the contemporary Porsche 911 Turbo.

By Jordan Aquistapace – April 24, 2025

Future Forward: The Ultimate Porsche Taycan EVs For Sale ...

When it comes to ushering in the future of EV mobility, few brands have made a statement quite like Porsche with the launch of its Taycan model. A project more than five years in the making, the Porsche Taycan is a watershed moment, allowing enthusiasts to experience an electric sedan without sacrificing luxury and performance. Additionally, history seems to be echoing its own sentiments, reminding us that over 120 years ago, Ferdinand Porsche was already an advocate for electric power with his Löhner–Porsche. The Taycan and its adventure-ready sibling, the CrossTurismo, symbolize the electric future we've all been yearning for. The Taycan doesn't just encapsulate the future; it sets the bar for it. A seamless blend of Porsche's iconic design elements and cutting-edge technology, the Taycan proves that an electric future doesn't mean compromising on speed or luxury. With a range of options and packages, interested buyers can explore Porsche Taycan prices and specs to find the perfect configuration for their needs. So, if you're on the hunt for a new Porsche Taycan for sale, rest assured, you're investing in a piece of history, and more importantly, in a greener future. As the brand that once pushed for the adoption of electric power now leads the way again, the Taycan not only pays homage to Porsche's roots but also propels it straight into the future. View all of the Porsche Taycan featured in this special by clicking on the links below. View All Porsche Taycan For Sale Is The Porsche Taycan Fully Electric? Yes, the Porsche Taycan is fully electric. It was Porsche's first all-electric vehicle when it debuted, marking a significant milestone for the brand in embracing electric mobility. The Taycan offers various configurations, but all are powered solely by electric batteries, with no internal combustion engine. It boasts impressive performance stats that live up to Porsche's legacy, along with a range that makes it practical for everyday use as well as long journeys. What Is The 0 to 60mph On A Porsche Taycan? The 0 to 60 mph acceleration time for the Porsche Taycan varies depending on the specific model and configuration. For instance, the Taycan Turbo S, the high-performance variant, can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds. The Taycan 4S, on the other hand, accomplishes the same feat in approximately 3.8 seconds. These figures make the Taycan one of the quickest electric vehicles on the market, showcasing Porsche's commitment to blending performance with electric technology. How Long Will A Porsche Taycan Last? The longevity of a Porsche Taycan—or any car for that matter—depends on a variety of factors including driving conditions, maintenance, and overall care. However, Porsche does offer an 8-year or 100,000-mile warranty for the Taycan's battery, indicating confidence in its long-term durability. Electric vehicles like the Taycan generally have fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, which could mean less wear and tear over time. That said, it's reasonable to expect a well-maintained Taycan to last for many years and cover a substantial amount of mileage, given Porsche's reputation for building durable, high-quality vehicles. 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo S View Price And Listing 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo View Price And Listing 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S View Price And Listing 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Cross Turismo View Price And Listing 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S View Price And Listing 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo View Price And Listing 2024 Porsche Taycan 4S View Price And Listing 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Cross Turismo View Price And Listing 2021 Porsche Taycan View Price And Listing 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S View Price And Listing Buy Searching for a Porsche Taycan to buy? duPont REGISTRY has hundreds of Porsches for sale right now, including some of the rarest Porsche Taycans ever created.

Ruby Star & Ruby Star Neo: Own One Of Porsche's Most Icon...

This bright color is both iconic and head-turning. Porsche has a broad spectrum of some of the most iconic and celebrated paint colors, like Guards Red, Racing Yellow, Signal Green, and many more. However, one of the most memorable is Ruby Star, a vivid magenta shade that stands out in any crowd, with a history of adorning some of the coolest vintage 911 models and adding a layer of retro-inspired wow factor to them. Through its Paint To Sample program, Porsche has shown a knack for offering, albeit at a hefty price, unorthodox and unique colors like Ruby Star. However, in recent years, Porsche has revived the color, introducing a new version dubbed Ruby Star Neo. Rather than being a PTS, the funky pink shade is available as a special color option for cars like the 911 and 718. If you’re interested in owning a Porsche finished in the iconic Ruby Star Neo, there are quite a few available for sale on duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985. Here, you’ll find cars that combine the vivid and unique Ruby Star/Ruby Star Neo with the driver’s car performance of models like the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and the 911 GT3, the luxury and supercar-like performance of the 911 Turbo S, or the classic charm of the air-cooled 911s of the past.

Top 10 Best Porsches of All Time

Below are our picks for the top 10 Porsches of All Time, in no particular order. As with many manufacturers, the Porsche name comes from a founding family. Ferdinand Porsche, Sr., established an independent design firm in 1931, which created the first Volkswagen Beetle, one of automotive history's most successful and recognizable models. His son, Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, Jr., helped grow the business, and in 1948 they released the first road-legal Porsche, the 356. It took two years to manufacture the first 50 Porsche 356s, but their notoriety grew exponentially from that point. MUST READ: The Best Porsches You Can Buy Today In 1963, the 356 was replaced with the most famous of the best Porsche models, the 911. The first Porsche 911 for sale in the United States arrived in 1965 with a price tag of $6,500, the equivalent of approximately $48,900 today. Since then, the marque has grown synonymous with high performance, while it has developed a reputation for providing some of the world's finest cars. The 911, a model line still in production to this day, is recognized as one of the most successful competition cars ever. But there are quite a few other cars that the brand has created, and we would be remiss to not acknowledge them. View All Porsches For Sale 959 The 959 is a legendary supercar that was, back in 1986-89, well ahead of its time thanks to its technology. Many regard the 959 as being the forefather for modern day supercars. Either way, one cannot simply talk about Porsche's history without mentioning the 959. View All Porsche 959s For Sale 1967 911 Targa 1967 was the first year the Porsche 911 Targa was offered, introducing the world to the removable roof panel of the 911. It was built around the early 911 models, which are, to this day, some of the most brilliant Porsche has produced. The Targa spent some time in hibernation until 2014 when the original Targa top was reintroduced back into the market. View All Porsche 911 Targas For Sale Carrera GT After the 959, Porsche held back from the supercar market. It wasn't until 2004 that the Carrera GT rocked the world with its 5.7-liter V10 engine, and a design that will go down as one of the most aggressive from Porsche ever. The Carrera GT is able to reach a top speed of 205 mph and hit 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. View All Porsche Carrera GTs For Sale 918 Spyder The gap between the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder was much shorter than the 959 and Carrera GT's, but the technological difference in the former is much more apparent. Being called a hybrid supercar, the 918 Spyder is a limited edition model that has pushed Porsche into the future. Its two electric motors and V8 engine produce a combined 887 hp, a leap above the Carrera GT and 959's. While it may be a recent memory now, the 918 Spyder is going to be a legend. View All Porsche 918 Spyders For Sale 917 Porsche's first wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans came in 1970 and 1971 at the hands of the 917 , a flat-12 engine race car. The 918 dominated many racing series, including the World Sportscar Championships, permanently making it one of the greatest racing Porsches of all time. Its incredibly fast speed made it incredibly famous (the 917/30 Can Am Variant shot from 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds) and it even appeared in Steve McQueen's Le Mans. RUF CTR "Yellowbird" " width="680"> While it may not technically be a Porsche model, it is based on the 911 and it will give its driver a white-knuckled experience like no other. Back in 1987, the CTR "Yellow" lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in just 8:05. Sure, that does seem like a crazy time when compared to the cars of today, but back then, it was a huge deal. View All Rufs For Sale 904-6 GTS " width="680"> Officially dubbed the Carrera GTS due to a dispute with Peugeot over numeric names that used a "0" in the middle, the 904-6 was the last sports-racing version of the iconic 356. It was also the last full-competition Porsche easily able to be driven down the streets. Designed by the third Porsche bearing the name Ferdinand, this model stands as an historic monument in the marque's lineup. 550 RS Spyder Before the 911 and 917 racecars, there was the 550, a race car from the 1950s. It was styled after the 356 road car, but built for racing. During its time on the racing circuits, the 550 won around 95 overall wins with 75 class wins. Off of the track, the 550 made headlines as it was the car James Dean fatally crashed. 1975 911 Turbo 3.0 Coupe Porsche found that the 911 was a hit and knew that they needed to keep it around. What better way to keep customers interested than to turbocharge the car? In 1975 the first turbo-charged Porsche hit the roads as the 911 Turbo 3.0 Coupe, which would end up being the fastest production car in Germany. What is there not to like about this car? View All Porsche 911 Turbos For Sale 356 The 356 was the car that started it all off. Back in 1948, this was Porsche's first production vehicle and it shaped the automaker's iconic design for years to come. You can thank this car for every model you see on this list because without it, this list might not exist. View All Porsche 356s For Sale See More Top Lists Images Sourced From Porsche
