The Most Iconic Porsches of the 1960s

The 1960s was an important period for the automobile industry. In the States, the classic muscle cars were in the so-called golden phase, bursting with oversized engines and raw horsepower. On the other side of the Atlantic, German carmaker Porsche was also riding a wave, building the blocks for lasting success. It wrapped up the production of the 356, a car that put the company on a global pedestal, and replaced it with another icon, the 911.

The ’60s also witnessed the 50,000th Porsche roll off the assembly line, another important milestone. Then there were the legendary machines, road-going and race cars alike, rolled out by Porsche during this period, performance machines that helped shape Porsche’s legacy, rightly positioning the carmaker for its charge into the future.
