With a distinctive lowered windshield and a fairly spartan interior, the Speedster was the perfect choice for driving enthusiasts and would-be racers. The car proved to be exactly what the company needed to increase sales, and the style quickly became legendary. With such an enduring legacy, it was natural that various companies have created replicas of the model. Most utilize VW Flat-4 motors and other Beetle parts to keep costs down and maintain the car’s performance and handling. In fact, with modern engine upgrades, front disc brakes, and other safety features, these recreations are typically quicker (not to mention safer) than the originals. As such, these cars are hugely entertaining to drive and are the perfect choice for a weekend runabout. The eye-catching 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation featured here is finished in stunning Silver Metallic over Dark Red leather with a Black convertible top. This exquisite Speedster replica was built by world-renowned coachbuilder, Vintage Speedsters, in California and equipped with an upgraded 1. 9L Flat-4, front disc brakes, ventilated wheels, and a leather interior. We are proud to offer this gorgeous Speedster to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who wants to drive and enjoy this like-new Porsche Speedster Recreation.
