The Porsche 356A Carrera GT/GT Lightweight Coupé was a purpose-built competition model developed for international GT racing and long-distance endurance events.
Produced in very small numbers, it represented the most focused and technically advanced iteration of the 356 platform, powered by the legendary Fuhrmann-designed four-cam Carrera engine.
To reduce weight and improve performance, the GT Lightweight featured aluminium body panels, thinner-gauge steel where applicable, Plexiglas side and rear windows, minimal interior trim with Speedster-style bucket seats, uprated brakes, strengthened suspension components and close-ratio gearing.
These cars were campaigned extensively in period, competing with notable success in events such as Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, the Carrera Panamericana and numerous European GT championships, cementing the Carrera GT’s reputation as one of Porsche’s most effective early competition cars and a cornerstone of the marque’s motorsport history.
