the original

   water-cooled         mid-engine        Subaru power

modernized brakes and suspension -   a true structural tube frame chassis


On December 5, 2002 we proudly introduced our mid-engine water-cooled Porsche Speedster replica  which has been followed by a 7 year development program

NEW !!   ALL OF OUR 356A REPLICAS NOW HAVE  POWER ASSISTED BRAKES

 

 

 

Our staff has a 28 year history of building Porsche Speedster replicas using the traditional air-cooled VW Beetle platform format; however, this is the 21st century and cars and driving requirements have changed dramatically ........  

so we made some remarkable structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, appearance, and performance changes.

 

   

 

To begin.....

We do not use 45+ year old VW Beetle 50 hp air-cooled engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brake, fuel tank, column, or wiring parts or technology...none 

What do we use ? .........common sense, modern parts, and technology.

The original appearance of our beautiful Porsche 356 replicas is respectfully unchanged.

We faithfully retained the correct wheelbase, track, decoration, and shape for all of our traditional style Porsche 356 replicas.

 

Other Porsche 356 replicas cannot make this claim because of their adherence to the VW platform and components.

 

Our spectacular changes are beneath the skin and are our way of bringing into the 21st century the structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety systems of a very deserving classic car.

So what does all this mean to you ?    Simply put .....

 

  • greater performance, braking, and handling
  • better protection from the elements
  • easier access to parts, service, repair facilities
  • significantly better fuel mileage in spite of the high performance 
  • significant improvement in occupant safety
  • improved comfort and ergonomics
  • an engineered car versus one just put together

 

This is a tradition our principals have enjoyed for the past 28 years on many other type cars, and we have considerable experience in this type work.
