In September 1955, the 356 was replaced by the much more advanced 356 A. From when it was launched on the market, it was available with five four-cylinder engines:

356 A 1300 with 44 PS356 A 1300 Super with 60 PS356 1600 with 60 PS356 A 1600 Super with 75 PS356 A 1500 GS Carrera with 100 PS
The modifications to the vehicle were part of ""Technical Programme 1"" (T1). Visually, the A series differed from the original 356 in a number of ways, including a single-piece, curved panoramic windscreen. Across all models, the front indicators were integrated into horn grilles and there was a modified front bonnet handle with an embedded Porsche Crest. From March 1957, the rear lights were teardrop-shaped.


The 1300 models were discontinued in September 1957 (T2). The tips of the tailpipes on the 1600 models were located between the bumper guards to allow for more ground clearance. The chrome-plated housing with number plate lighting and reverse light was mounted below the number plate.

All 356s were also available in open-top versions (Cabriolet, Speedster or Convertible D).

From the 356 A onwards, particularly sporty variants were given the additional ""Carrera"" designation and were powered by a Fuhrmann engine.
