Presented in rare factory-correct Aquamarine Blue over black leatherette upholstery with contrasting gray corduroy inserts
One of Porsche's highly coveted and competition-focused four-cam Carrera GT models, produced in exceptionally limited numbers
Subject to a meticulous concours-level restoration completed over more than 15 years, with fewer than 10 miles recorded since completion
Currently fitted with a rebuilt 1,582cc pushrod engine (Engine no. 751937) for testing and tuning purposes
Documented by its Porsche Kardex warranty card, Reutter body record, factory production documentation, and fascinating Cuban competition history dating to 1958
Introduced during the mid-1950s, the Porsche 356 Carrera GT represented the most competition-focused evolution of the marque's already formidable 356 platform. Developed to homologate Porsche's lightweight racing technology for road and rally use, the Carrera GT combined reduced weight, purposeful equipment, and the revolutionary four-cam Type 547 engine derived directly from Porsche's motorsport program.
At the heart of the Carrera GT was Ernst Fuhrmann's sophisticated four-cam flat-four engine, a remarkably advanced design for its era. Compact, high-revving, and mechanically intricate, the engine transformed the 356 into one of the most capable small-displacement sports cars of the 1950s. In GT specification, the Carrera benefited from increased performance tuning and lightweight construction, allowing the model to excel in endurance rallies, hill climbs, and international road racing competition.
The Carrera GT could be distinguished by lightweight bucket seats, simplified interior appointments, competition instrumentation, and reduced sound insulation. Beneath its elegant Reutter-built coachwork, the GT offered a uniquely engaging driving experience characterized by sharp handling, remarkable balance, and a free-revving competition engine unlike anything else available in a contemporary production sports car.
Produced in exceptionally limited numbers, the Carrera GT remains among the rarest and most coveted variants of the Porsche 356 lineage today. Its direct connection to Porsche's early motorsport success—including the legendary 550 Spyder and the marque's victories in events such as the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, and Carrera Panamericana—has cemented the Carrera GT's reputation as one of the most historically significant and desirable early Porsche road cars ever produced.
