Porsche 356 Engines and Transmissions
Every Porsche 356 engine here is a small gasoline unit mounted behind the rear axle, driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. Examples such as the 1.1 MT Coupe and the 1.1 or 1.3 MT Cabrio show how the drivetrain favoured low weight and revs over outright displacement.
