VW speedster recreation
The Porsche 356 speedster was introduced in 1954 after Max Hoffman, the American importer of the German brand, saw opportunities for a cheap spartan open sports car based on the successful 356. Porsche then introduced the 356 speedster. Like many legendary models in Porsche's history, "the art of omission" led to one of the most desirable models in automotive history.
This Vintage speedster is a recreation of the original, it is a copy that was built by the renowned company Vintage speedsters, which has now delivered more than 3300 copies of this speedster.

Most speedsters offered have a 1600 cc air-cooled engine, but this copy is equipped with a more powerful 1915 cc engine with double carburetors that delivers approximately 90 hp. This spicy engine is coupled to a 3:88 gearbox. Thanks to the optional double sports exhaust, this speedster produces an impressive sound that will sound like music to the ears of the enthusiast. In terms of stopping power, the driver does not have to worry either, as this model has the optional disc brakes at the front. The body is made of polyester and because the paintwork could not withstand the judgement of the perfectionist, it was decided to provide it with the Gulf colours and the body is in perfect condition and damage-free.

It is the details that make this speedster so attractive. The interior is upholstered in a beautiful black colour that perfectly compliments the "Gulf" paint. The bucket seats keep you perfectly in place and are upholstered in artificial leather.

In short, a beautiful speedster recreation in a tasteful colour scheme, exceptionally high quality and equipped with attractive options that are not inferior to a newer model. In terms of driving, it is a pleasure due to the more powerful engine and the disc brakes. You are very welcome in our showroom to come and view this speedster up close.
