After the prototypes of 1948 with a 1086cc engine, the first definitive Porsche 356 coupé was presented at the Geneva Motor Show from 1949. Equipped with a 4-cylinder 1100cc boxer engine of 40 horsepower, its manufacture had already begun in the winter of 1949 at the rate of five units per month. Until March 1951 the coupes were manufactured in Gmund with aluminum bodies, while in Stuttgart the units with steel bodywork were manufactured by Reutter starting from April 1950. About twenty cabriolets were instead built by Beutler, the Swiss coachbuilder from Thun, until March 1951.
