Description

Classic Porsche 356 C Technical Art: Inside the Air-Cooled Icon

This factory cutaway illustration depicts the Porsche 356 C, the final and most refined generation of Porsche’s inaugural production sports car. Created in 1963 by legendary automotive technical artist Werner Bührer, this highly detailed x-ray drawing was used by the factory for promotional materials and workshop manuals to highlight the car’s structural and mechanical evolution.

The artwork beautifully reveals the layout of the 356 C, which was produced between 1963 and 1965. Visually, it showcases the refined “T6” body style, characterized by twin engine-lid grilles and a square-shaped front hood.

Key Mechanical Features Revealed in the Cutaway

The 1963 technical drawing highlights several major engineering milestones for the final Porsche 356 model generation:

The Engine: The drawing emphasizes the rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four pushrod engine. This powerplant delivered up to 95 horsepower in the high-performance “SC” variant.
Disc Brakes: Crucially, the cutaway exposes the implementation of standard four-wheel disc brakes. This was a landmark safety upgrade for the model line.
Hubcap Redesign: You can see this change externally through the flatter, crestless hubcaps. Designers created them specifically to clear the new brake callipers.
