In September of 1959 Porsche revealed their fully updated 356 known as the 356B. This had a completely revised body that was more suitable for the American market. The 1600 Super was also known as the 1600 S and sat in the middle of the lineup, below the Super 90 and above the base 1600.
While the base 1600 had 60bhp, the 1600 Super with its Type 616/2 and 8.5:1 compression was more powerful, with 74bhp at 5000rpm and torque of 87ft lbs at 5000rpm. Performance for the 1600 S was also stronger than the base 1600, doing the zero to 60mph sprint in 15.5 seconds (a second faster) and top speed was equal, at 97mph.
This example was recently restored by a well-known Porsche mechanic and not only looks the part but also drives extremely well.
