Transaxle (alias Toprope)
Porsche 356 Coupé
The Porsche 356 was the company's first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car available in hardtop (Coupé) and convertible (Cabrio and Speedster) configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Kaernten (Austria) where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen (Germany) and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. It is estimated approximately half of the total production of 76,000 356s still survive. ( © en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_356)
