The 1962 Porsche 356 B 2000 GS Carrera 2 is a sports car manufactured by Porsche, and the highest performance model of the 356 model range.

The 2000 GS Carrera 2 was an improvement on the original 1.6 litre 356 B Carrera 1600 GS, with the new model benefitting from an air-cooled, flat-four 1966cc engine introduced as the Carrera 2 in September 1962 with a larger bore and stoke, offering increased low-end torque and with minor changes to keep the larger engine cool.

Another feature of the car was bespoke disc brakes designed and manufactured by Porsche.
