10 of the Best Racing Porsches of All Time

Choosing the top ten racing Porsches is not only a daunting task but is also somewhat subjective. For me, however, there are ten clear winners:
The 356 and the 360
The Porsche 356 was born in 1948 and was manufactured until 1965. Although, in 1939, Porsche constructed three

Type 64s for a race that was later cancelled, the 356 is considered the manufacturer’s first production model. Porsche introduced the 360 Cisitalia in 1949 when Piero Dusio paid a large amount of money to commission the car (alth…
