According to him, a lower-cost, reasonably spartan open-top roadster was exactly what the brand needed to increase sales. He was quickly proven correct, with the new Speedster version and its distinctive cut-down raked windscreen proving quite popular wherever roads were twisty and the weather was nice. With such an enduring legacy, it was only natural for companies to produce recreations of this sensational model. Numerous companies have tried their hand, most utilizing VW Flat-4 motors and other Beetle parts to keep costs down without diluting the cars performance or handling. In fact, the best recreations, which are built on custom tube frames and feature engine upgrades, front disc brakes, and other modern safety features, are actually 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 fabulous 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation featured here is finished in stunning Ivory over Blue leather with a matching convertible top. This exquisite Speedster replica was built by world-renowned coachbuilder, Vintage Speedsters, in California and equipped with a vast array of options. An upgraded 1.9L Flat-4, front disc brakes, chrome wheels, a leather interior, and air conditioning are a few of the many amenities that add significant comfort to this impressive driving machine. 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.
