Initially designed as a low-cost, track-focused variant of the 356, the Speedster's removable low-cut windshield, simple top, side curtain windows, and simplified dashboard rewarded its buyers with superior acceleration and handling versus its heavier counterparts. While sales were relatively slow in period, the car is fondly remembered for its evocative styling and enthusiast-oriented driving experience. Today, original Porsche 356 Speedsters routinely sell for well over $300,000 due to their iconic status and rarity. Happily, numerous companies have developed replicas of the model, allowing regular enthusiasts the opportunity to drive and enjoy this sensational model. In many cases, these replicas are extremely difficult to discern from an original and often offer greater performance thanks to less weight and more power. The exceptional 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation featured here is finished in the desirable combination of gloss Black over a Dark Red leather interior with a matching convertible top. This impressive replica of a Porsche 356 Speedster was built to a high standard by a world-renowned coachbuilder and is nearly impossible to tell from an original. An upgraded 1.6L Flat-4, chrome wheels, and a leather interior help make this Speedster replica the perfect choice to drive and enjoy. We are proud to offer this stunning Speedster replica to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who appreciates its iconic style and superb driving dynamics.
