They are just glorious engines. They are the ULTIMATE flat four engine.
Porsche first put the twin overhead cam flat four in the 550 Spyder in 1954 in 1.6-litre form. Later, 356 coupes with the twin-cam engine were called
Carreras. The last 1.6-litre engines got up to 165 hp, and in 1961 they went to 2-litres. The 356 coupe version was the Carrera 2, and the maximum
development was the race-tuned version in the Porsche 904 race car of 1963-65, which produced over 190 hp. After that, Porsche moved onto 6, 8 and
12-cylinder engines.

engine.
