The Vintage Speedster is truly one of the best 356 speedsters you can purchase. The chassis is excellent and extremely rigid. They really do a great job hand assembling these cars. Every panel lines up excellent and everything opens and shuts with ease. These are great cars to go for a quick blast down the road or for a nice scenic drive. I know most would never do this but these really are cars you could drive every day. They are easy to get in and out of and they actually ride very comfortably. I can tell you few things top a great drive in a Speedster on a beautiful day. A real 356 speedster has rocketed to a price of almost 300,000 dollars and you can have just as much fun as owning the real car but for a fraction of the cost Exterior: This beautiful Speedster looks great finished in its black paint finish which is a classic factory Porsche color that gives this car a very authentic look. The paint job on the car was very high quality. The entire car was completely disassembled and painted separately The result is incredibly impressive. The paint has a very "deep" look and has a great shine. When the car was painted, it was done properly and professionally. This is a 100% rust free car. Every panel lines up perfectly and all of the doors, hood and trunk all open and shut with ease and have a solid feel. Interior: The interior is Leather Tan including the sport front seats, door panels and dash.Tan carpet with black coco mats. The beautiful wooden steering wheel and the wooden shift knop feels excellent in your hands and really gives the interior a great look. This car comes equipped with a folding canvas top as well as side curtains to protect you from the elements should the weather turn. Everything is in excellent working order. All of the gauges lights etc... are all working perfectly. Overall the interior of this car is beautiful and is a great place to be. Engine: The 1915 cc flat 4 engine fires right up and runs like a top. This engine, like the rest of the car, was professionally built and of high quality. The car runs and performs beautifully. The car sounds unbelievable breathing through twin down draught carbs and a beautiful exhaust system. This car is going to be very simple and easy to run and maintain due to its simplicity and large availability of parts. The car's transmission is the classic freeway flyer 3:88 4 speed that shifts excellent and the gearing is suitable for highway driving as well as city driving. The car runs nice and cool. The disc brakes stop the car incredibly well and have a great solid feel. The car tracks down the road straight as an arrow and feels solid driving down the road. These are really well built replicas and should not be confused with low grade kit cars. All of the lights, signals, wipers etc. are in great working order. This is a great driving Speedster that is truly turn-key and can just be driven and enjoyed. This really is a great car to spend time in! This Speedster was build on a 1963 VW Beetle chasse, ready to Register. Porsche/Speedster Emblem package and black coco mats are coming with the car. I can help arrange shipping anywhere in the world and international buyers are welcome to enjoy this great 1957 Porsche 356 by Vintage Speedsters!

Porsche calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.
A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sat, 14 Jun 2014The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Model X towing drag race, Porsche 918 salvage auction
Wed, Mar 23 2016Watch an Alfa Romeo 4C drag race against a Tesla Model X towing an Alfa Romeo 4C. The ridiculous (or, perhaps more appropriately, ludicrous) race appeared in MotorTrend's Instagram, which was then shared on Facebook by Tesla Motors Autopilot Program Director Sterling Anderson, along with the comment, "Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels." While we can't quite see the actual results of the drag race in the video, it appears to be a close one. Check it out in the video above, and read more from Electrek. A Porsche 918 Spyder has gone up for auction. Unfortunately, it's a salvage auction, and said performance plug-in hybrid is totally mangled. The gut-wrenching photos reveal an even sadder detail, as the car's odometer shows it only logged 92 miles before being involved in what appears to have been a terrible wreck (though the listing describes the miles as "not actual"). The current bid on the Copart auction site is up to $106,000, and the listing shows a $600,000 repair estimate. The very expensive hunk of metal and carbon fiber is located in Long Island. Check out the listing for yourself, or read more at MotorAuthority. GKN Driveline says that German drivers are more interested in plug-in hybrids (especially with all-wheel drive) than conventional hybrid cars. In a poll of more than 1,000 drivers commissioned by GKN, 75 percent preferred PHEVs to standard hybrids, while 61.2 percent said that 50 kilometers (31 miles) of electric range is enough for their daily driving duties. About 81 percent are "wary of hybrids," most believing them to be a poor value. 52 percent said their ideal car would combine a plug and all-wheel drive. "We believe that plug-in hybrids with all-wheel drive make sense," says GKN Automotive President of Engineering Peter Moelgg, "and the public's positive response to vehicle programmes that offer this combination – like the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, BMW i8, and Porsche 918 Spyder – can only continue to grow."

NEW RESEARCH REVEALS GERMAN DRIVERS PREFER PLUG-IN HYBRIDS Lohmar, Germany, 22 March 2016: Drivers now consider plug-in hybrid vehicles to be more attractive and practical than conventional hybrids, a survey commissioned by GKN Driveline has revealed.
