SPEEDSTER
COUPE
The Porsche 356 was a sports car produced from 1948 through 1965. It was Porsche’s first production automobile. The first Porsche 356 was debuted on June 8, 1948, using many Volkswagen parts for manufacturing economy. However, Porsche quickly refined the car with a focus on performance, so that by the late 50’s few parts were shared in common between the two marques and it became the Swiss watch of automotive design.
​
The 356 has always been quite popular with the motor press, and in 2004 Sports Car International ranked the 356C tenth on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s
Why choose a 356 Replica from Australian Speedsters?
​
Every Effort has been taken to replicate the quality and finish of the Original Speedster. Our 356 Replica is based on a shortened VW Beetle Floor pan. The Body is bonded onto a steel tubular sub-frame that improves safety and increases the torsional rigidity of the vehicle. For additional safety, impact bars are fitted to the doors and front of the body in order to provide additional occupant protection.
