What is the engine displacement of the Porsche 356 SC?

The Porsche 356 SC had an engine displacement of 1.6 liters.

The 356 SC was introduced for the 1964 model year as one of the final developments of Porsche’s original 356 sports car. Its “SC” name is commonly expanded as Super Carrera, although it was not the same model as the earlier four-cam Carrera racing variants. The car used a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four engine with a displacement of 1,582 cubic centimetres, conventionally rounded to 1.6 liters.

The 356 SC followed the 356 C and sat near the end of the 356 story. It was offered as Porsche prepared to replace the 356 with the new 911. Compared with earlier 356 versions, the SC combined mature everyday usability with stronger performance and refinements, including disc brakes and improved equipment.

A frequent source of confusion is the engine-size range across the 356 family. Earlier cars used smaller engines, while some special Carrera versions employed different, highly tuned four-cam units. The 356 SC’s defining displacement is the 1.6-liter flat-four, not the 1.8- or 2.0-liter engines associated with later Porsche models.
