1963 Porsche 356b 2000 GS Carrera GT

For the contests in the important GT (Gran Turismo) category, Porsche built this 356b 2000 GS Carrera GT, a racing version based on the 356 Carrera 2.

Driven by Edgar Barth and Herbert Linge, this last Porsche with an aluminum body places third in its Targa Florio premiere in 1963.
Equiped with a steeply sloping rear window to aid overall aerodynamics, this car's unique silhouette earns it the nickname "Dreikantschaber", or roughly "wedge blade".

  1. Too bad it never made it into limited production at least. It could have been mid engine with all that back seat space.
    Today it looks like something Rod E might have tangled with and still might : )
