About the Porsche 356B Cabriolet Aubergine Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Porsche 356B Cabriolet wears an unusual Aubergine finish over the rounded open-top body from the early 1960s. Entry-tier construction on a car that predates the 911 and helped define Porsche's early road car identity.

Long before the 911 arrived, the 356 was Porsche's only road car, and this Cabriolet in an unusually rich Aubergine hue captures the model's rounded, rear-engined charm rather than a mainstream period colour.

Bburago's Diecast Reading of the 356's Rounded Body

The 356's curves are gentler and rounder than the 911 that followed it, and getting those soft surfaces right in diecast tooling is a different challenge from a car with sharper creases. Bburago's casting carries the shape convincingly, with the folded soft-top moulded behind the seats and door lines that follow the body's curve rather than cutting a straight edge across it. The Aubergine paint is applied evenly but, as with any entry-tier finish, without the layered depth a costlier clear coat would add. Panel gaps sit wider than premium diecast, most noticeable around the small rear-hinged bonnet, and the cabin is kept simple with a moulded dashboard rather than fine stitching detail. The overall silhouette, low, rounded and unmistakably early Porsche, is what carries the piece.

The 356's Role as Porsche's Founding Road Car

The 356 was Porsche's first production road car, built through the 1950s and into the early 1960s with the rear-mounted, air-cooled layout that would define the marque for decades afterward. The 356B represented a mid-life update to that formula, refining the shape without abandoning the rounded lines that gave the original its character, and it remained in production right up until the 911 took over as Porsche's flagship. For a collector, a 356 sits at the very root of Porsche's road car lineage rather than being a footnote to it.

This Cabriolet's Role in a Classic Sports Display

Its unusual colour makes this piece stand out among more common red or silver 356s, a useful accent next to a 911 for a two-generation Porsche display.
