The 356 B T5 Coupe was the direct replacement of the Porsche 356 A Coupe and accounted for approximately 70% of the total 356 B T-5 production, with approximately 12,000 cars produced. The T5 Coupe bodies were produced by German coachbuilder company Reutter, which was in charge of most Porsche 356 Body production since the mid-1950s. The 356 B T5 Coupe played a huge role in the growth seen by Porsche in the early 1960s. As its Cabriolet, Roadster, and Notchback Coupe siblings, it was offered with 1600, 1600S, S90, and Carrera engine options paired to a four-speed synchromesh 741 transmission.
