9/23 Update: the second of three cars in the 1-2-3 4-Cams Collection has gone live—check it out below!
After just a couple years of racing, Ernst Fuhrmann’s legendary four-cam boxer engine was deemed ready for production use, and by 1955 it was made available in the 356A Carrera, named after the grueling and deadly Carrera Panamericana road race. This incredible collection from Garage44 presents a thorough cross-section of the Carrera program as it existed in the late 1950s and early ’60s. Each is powered by a plain-bearing version of the four-cam engine, and each represents a different facet of the Carrera ethos, which in many ways has been the guiding principle for nearly all Porsches—equally at home on track or in traffic, and able to switch between the two with ease. The 356A Carrera 1600 GS Coupe is the more refined of the trio, the 356B Carrera 1600 GT Coupe aimed principally at competition, and the 356A Carrera 1600 GT Speedster a stripped down, simplified driving machine ready for any (dry) road or circuit. Any one of them would be cause for excitement on its own, and taken together they illustrate a progression from high-speed touring to focused track use during one of the most technically ambitious periods in Porsche’s early history.

In the German state of Baden-Württemberg, on the northern edge of the city of Stuttgart, lies the borough of Zuffenhausen. Humans have lived here continuously for over 7,000 years, and 75 years ago, they began doing something very special: building Porsches. In this Icons of Zuffenhausen collection, Wob has assembled some of the best of the breed. Some are cars that defined the Porsche brand as we know it today, like a veteran 356 racer and a sublime ’73 Carrera RS. Others are cars that seek to stretch the definition of what a Porsche can be, like a one-off Spyder prototype racer, a hyper-exotic 918 Spyder, and a 992 GT3 R Rennsport—perhaps the ultimate track weapon. This is the second collection of incredible high-performance Porsches from Wob, and we’re very excited to see the cars start to go live this evening, Monday, September 29.
