Built at the behest of US-based Porsche importer, Max Hoffman, the 356 Speedster was designed as a low-cost, stripped-out track day variant of the standard 356. In comparison to the regular Cabriolet, Speedsters had a far simpler interior, a shorter windshield that was easily removable, a far lighter and simpler folding top, and removable side curtain windows. While produced in only limited quantities (some sources quote merely 3, 944 were built between 1955 and 1959), the distinctive silhouette of the Speedster was immortalized in Porsche - and automotive - history.

Much as with other highly desirable, low-production vehicles from the fifties and sixties, numerous replicas of the Porsche 356 Speedster have been constructed over the years. Some of the best can only be differentiated in appearance from the original by sharp-eyed experts, while performance-wise they are typically more powerful and bear less weight. Considering how original Speedsters routinely change hands for well over $300, 000, replicas are often the best choices to experience the unique driving experience offered by these cars - all without the risk of driving an original.

The fabulous 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation featured here is finished in stunning Ivory over Navy leather with a matching convertible top. This exquisite Speedster replica was built by the world-renowned coachbuilder, Vintage Replicas, in California and only driven a mere 5, 458 miles since new. This particular Speedster features exceptional build quality and was optioned with extras including an upgraded 1. 9L Flat-4 with dual carburetors, ventilated chrome wheels, a leather interior, and a premium sound system. 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, virtually indistinguishable from the original recreation of an iconic Porsche 356 Speedster.

** Please note this vehicle is titled as a 1967 Volkswagen Coupe.**
