Recognized globally as Porsche's very first production automobile, the 356 was a rear-engined sports car that was built between 1948 and 1965 before being replaced by the 911 series. To many, the 356 is considered to be the foundation of Porsche automobiles, with its styling and design layout being passed down to current models as well.
