Unique 1953 Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth

Unique 1953 Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth

This one-off 1953 Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth features a custom aluminum body by Aldo Borghi. Originally based on a Porsche 356 that was damaged in a fire, Borghi salvaged key components like the floorplan, engine, and transmission. Equipped with a rear-mounted, upgraded 1,600 cc Porsche Super 90 engine producing approximately 108 hp and 92 lb-ft of torque, this build is a lightweight nod to the racing roots of the Porsche 356 Carrera GTL. Its distinct design includes sleek front end, wide rear arches, and extensive rear louvers for cooling.
