This is the origin of Porsche! Test drive a Porsche 356, different from the 911, the charm of the original.

My husband wrote a report on a rare Porsche 356 that he was allowed to test drive. Please take a look if you like.
Porsche 356 The first model to bear the name "Porsche
Porsche was founded in 1931. Its official name is Dr.Ing.h.c.F.Porsche AG, which in Japanese means "Ferdinand Porsche Honorary Doctor of Engineering, Inc.He said it would be "a good idea.
The first car to bear the "Porsche" name was the Porsche 356, which was manufactured from 1948.356 manufactured through 1965It is a long-lived model that has lasted for about 17 years. However, there have been several types (models) in the process, and although at first glance they look similar, a closer look reveals that they are surprisingly different in size and design.
This time, we were given a ride by1964 Porsche 356SCThe owner said that he wanted to drive a late model 356 as much as possible. According to the owner, he wanted to drive a late model 356 as much as possible, so he chose this 356, which is almost the last model.
This restored car is very cool. The black body and white interior are a perfect match with the design that looks great even now.
Test drive a Porsche 356
First of all, the owner drove me in the passenger seat this time. The sound of the door closing and other metallic noises were pleasant. I knew it.All the old car doors sound really good.is done.
The passenger seat is said to be a little worn out, but it is very comfortable, more like a sofa, and a little more luxurious than the seats in the 911.
After lightly warming up the engine and starting off, I was surprised at how comfortable the ride was; I had imagined a flatter, thinner ride due to my preconceived notion that the car was over 50 years old, but it was a Porsche after all.
Very solid ride.The tires are very flat, so they do not feel soggy at all, even when driving around curves. Of course, the tires have a very high flatness ratio, so there is a squishy feel to the tires.The rigidity and firmness of the suspension can be felt even from the passenger seat.The car goes around curves without anxiety.
The engine sound is a rhythmic bobbing, old-fashioned NA horizontally opposed four-cylinder sound, with moderate vibration that matches the atmosphere inside the car.Power-wise, they say it's about 95 hp at 1600 cc, but with a lower gear ratio.So the rpm in the normal range is high, and it also feels solid and powerful.
The suspension, power feel, and engine sound are very well balanced.Fun without flying.It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a typical example of a car that is "a car for the road.
I tried to speed up on the straightaway, but it was more stable than I'd imagined.The owner told me that it can cruise well in the fast speed range on the highway.Yes.

Dear Mina
A car that is "fun even if it doesn't fly.
It really is!
When I'm running with this thing, I don't think I'll ever wonder why I'm trying to fly it, and
It is relaxing, leisurely, and satisfying.
You will be immersed in a peaceful mood.
And the robustness of the body amazes me too.
It's an old car, but when the doors are closed, it's just like a 964 or 993 air-cooled.
The first time I heard the sound of a "click" was an unexpected treat.
I was impressed by this.
When you get out of the car after a long day of driving in GT3, it's like you're in the middle of the road.
The recent cars were all given up and the focus was on cars from the 60's and 80's.
I often think that I would like to live a simpler life...
I can't give it up at all, in fact, it's increasing.
When (chuckles)
Mr. Whooper.
356, I'd like to ride it...
>When I'm running with this, strangely enough, I don't even think about flying.
It is relaxing, leisurely, and satisfying.

I think that a car that is fun even without flying must be the ultimate fun car.
And Porsche, which had built such a solid car so long ago.
I was reminded how truly amazing it is.
>I can't let go of it at all, in fact, it's increasing.
When (chuckles)
It bothers me (laughs).
Hi Mina.
I met a white 356SC on one of the mountains the other day.
An elderly couple was riding in the car, and I felt that they were taking good care of it in concours condition.
I also had a look at the engine, which was a very simple 4-cylinder 1600cc engine with no various auxiliaries like today's cars.
It's kind of an old car, so it needs a lot of work, and the other day he got out of the hospital and hadn't driven it in a while...
I couldn't help but follow the parking as it was leaving and record it on my drive recorder (^^;
It was impressive that the car was running quite briskly despite being more than 50 years old.
I see you are at FSW this weekend.
However, is the rumor true? As of today, it looks like rain is in the forecast for FSW.
If it weren't for this situation, we might have been able to have some off-line meetings.
Master, if you are in the 2:05s in the Boxster, I would think you could get around in about 2 minutes.
I haven't run for over 10 years now, but I was getting 2:01s in my 343PS M3, so...;

Hello. How is your Porsche life after that!
>The other day I met a white 356SC in one of the mountains.
Oh yes!
I, too, have always wanted to drive an old Porsche with my husband and wife, even as our hair turned white with age, and go for a drive.
Dream.
I thought that the car must have been maintained and ridden with great care.
>I see you are in FSW this weekend.
I am in Fuji right now and it looks like a typhoon........
The car was red-flagged several times, and although we had two 30-minute runs, I think we only managed to do about 4 or 5 laps in total...
I didn't go to last year's run, but I heard it was sunny.
(The year before last, when I accompanied him, it snowed heavily.)
I really thought that next time I would try not to accompany them (laughs).
