This beautiful little 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster Replica is an absolute blast to drive. Factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of California (The Number One builder of Porsche Speedster Replicas.) They are a California company that has built 90% of all of the Porsche Speedster replicas on the market and their quality is NUMBER ONE! Vintage Speedsters uses a custom built, jig welded 2”x4” 11 gauge steel frame.

This rigid new structure retains the original VW pan designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and integrates the largest frame possible. While the original Speedsters are rare , these Vintage Speedster replicas are rare in their own right.

Even hard core Porsche enthusiasts would be easily fooled that this is not the real deal worth well over $200,000.

These Vintage Speedster replicas are an amazing value and a blast to drive. This ones body is in excellent condition and the paint still looks new. Body panel fit is fantastic and the doors on this car open and shut like a new Porsche. All of the chrome trim, badges, and glass look great. The black canvas convertible top is in great condition and is easy to put up or down as well as side windows that insert easily and a boot cover that give this car a very clean look when installed.

The black colored interior is a nice contrast to the classic silver exterior and is in like new condition. All of the gauges, lights and turn signals are working correctly. A Beautiful wood steering wheel and a great sounding Pioneer Am/Fm/CD stereo.

If needed this Speedster also has heat for those great summer drives up the coast. In the exceptionally clean engine compartment sits an upgraded 1735 cc, dual carb air cooled Volkswagen motor with more horsepower than the stock 1600 cc motor and you can definitely feel it at the higher rpm range. The power is backed up by an upgraded 3:88 4-speed (Freeway Flyer.) transmission that shifts smoothly and takes this little roadster up to speed quickly while the front disc brakes will bring you back to a safe stop.

Maintenance is affordable and any auto repair shop should be able to handle it. The Undercarriage is perfect since this is a CALIFORNIA SPEEDSTER and it shows.

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.

Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller throws hat back in ring for VW CEO job

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.
