356A replicas

Speedster, Cabriolet, or Coupe

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 Speedster followed by a 5 year development program

Our staff has a 26 year history of building 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 no longer use 40+ year old VW Beetle 60 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.

See Details menu below

The original appearance of our beautiful 356A replicas is respectfully unchanged.
We faithfully retained the correct wheelbase, track, decoration, and shape for all of our traditional style 356A replicas.

Other 356A 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.
