In late 1959, significant styling and technical refinements gave rise to the 356 B, the third generation of the German brand's first production model: the Porsche 356. Produced between 1959 and 1963, this generation was introduced with the T5 Body, which received a myriad of cosmetic changes from the predecessing Porsche 356 A generation, and was produced up until late 1961, when the T6 Body was introduced, featuring a whole new set of significant technical and mechanical updates. Offered as a Coupe, Notchback Coupe, Cabriolet or Roadster, the 356 B saw the engine offering updated as well: 1600 Normal (or Base Model) with 60 HP, 1600 S (or Super) with 75 HP, Super 90 with 90 HP, and the Carrera (evolution from the 356A Carrera) with output between 105 and 134 HP depending on the version. The transmission was also completely updated (to the 741 type), the brake system was improved, and other minor but significant mechanical and structural changes were made. More than 30,000 356 B's were produced between 1959 and 1963, approximately 30% more than the previous 356 A generation and about 50% more than its successor: the new Porsche 356 C.
