1963 Porsche 356B (T6) 1600 Super Coupe History: Mid-year in 1961, the T-6 body was adopted. This new shell is immediately identifiable by the twin rear air grilles, external fuel filler door, and the squared-off front hood. The rear window is also larger and the roof line is subtly different. A new Super 90 engine (90 DIN horsepower) was also offered. It is interesting to note that all horsepower ratings for 356 Porsches' use the DIN system - the Super 90 delivered 102 horsepower in SAE terms. The 356B is iconic today, but in 1959, it made a distinct stylistic break from its predecessor. Many of the changes were practical: body engineering chief Erwin Komenda raised the front and rear bumpers about four inches, to a more useful level. He raised the headlamps as well, which dramatically increased the throw of light in night driving. These alterations also allowed for improved cooling of the highly improved water-sealed aluminum brakes, which were widely considered to be the best in the world. The basic platform was enhanced with the Super engines, which provided more horsepower, primarily at high rpms. The 356Bs underwent continual change during their short run from 1960 to 1963. A substantial revision in 1962 gave the 356 a new internal designation, the T6, and a coupe built by Reutter. Thanks to its large glass area, this four-season edition offered the best visibility of any model with a roof; it has spacious accommodations and is the 356 of choice when rain or cold is a possibility. Only 2,500 were produced. 2dr Coupe 4-cyl. 1582cc/75hp 2x2bbl Curb Weight 1,874 lbs.Length 158 in. Wheelbase 82.7 in.
