Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Porsche 356A, the improved version of the first Porsche ever made.
The 356 is the first Porsche ever made when it was launched in 1948 and forever revolutionized the compact sports car genre. The 356A is the improved version of the said car. Debuted in 1955 and again in 1959, the 365A was offered with a four-cam Carrera engine only available on spyder race cars. Engine ranges vary from 1300 1.3L Type 506 engine up to the 1600 1.6L Type 616 engine with dual downdraft Zenith carburetors, producing 59hp of power and 110Nm of torque.
Seen here is the 1500 GS Carrera, a limited-edition model powered by the same 1.5L four-came engine as the 550 Spyder that produces less than a hundred horsepower. It was the first to don the Carrera name, which has now become synonymous with Porsche.
Let's drive the 356A around the Goodwood track to prove its worth. Roll the tape.
It did it in 1m50.834s.
This car says it all. It's the genesis of Porsche, redefined.
What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
