## How to read this page

- Prices are US list prices in the dollars of that model year.
- "Not sourced" means the option was offered but no source for its price has been found. It does not mean free.
- A code of `none` means the factory code is not documented. Name the option instead of supplying a code.
- The same code can mean different things in different generations.
- "(assumed)" marks availability that is inferred: the option is documented in other model years of the same phase of the generation, or on the trim this one derives from, and is assumed here.

## Background

The 356 B arrived in late 1959 for the 1960 model year with the T5 body, which raised the bumpers and headlamps and added larger bumper guards. The T6 body followed for 1962, with a larger front lid, an external fuel filler in the right front wing, a larger rear window and twin grilles on the engine lid. The US model years run from 1960 to 1963.

Three versions of the 1.6-litre pushrod flat-four were offered: the 1600, the 1600 Super and the Super 90. All had a fully synchronised four-speed manual gearbox. The Carrera 2, offered from 1962, used a 2.0-litre four-cam engine and Porsche-designed disc brakes.

The coupé and cabriolet were joined by the Roadster, the Convertible D’s successor, built first by Drauz and later by D’Ieteren in Belgium. For 1961 and 1962 Karmann built the Hardtop, a cabriolet body with a fixed steel roof, known to collectors as the notchback. A cabriolet with a removable hardtop was also offered.
