1957 PORSCHE SPEEDSTER CARRERA GT REPRODUCTION
-Mild Widebody-
'TIMELESS RACED INSPIRED TRIBUTE'
You are looking at one of the most sorted out, well designed and attention-grabbing German Tribute cars ever
fabricated. This gorgeous sports car began it's life as a "FiberFab Californian" and was recently completed
restored and improved. A fresh (5000 miles) 1835 with single TURBO motor, custom exhaust and oval tip propel this
charming little beast (190 HP estimated). A new DAN MILLER custom interior ($10K to reproduce) with custom luggage
front and rear duffle, race peddles, original style wood wheel, sound deadening, piped loop carpet, fully
upholstered trunk & lid, 914 gauges, functional roll bar with meticulous hand stitched seams and extreme attention
to every detail make it an up-close stunner and a show winner.
Package trays, storage pockets, drink pockets, custom seats with ultra comfortable bottom webbing, top of the line
faux-leather (more costly than real leather with 10x the durability and moisture resistance) , 4x 12volt accessory
plugs and a crystal clear, LOUD & MASSIVE dual amp, 1000 watt sound system complete with blue tooth, concealed 6
speakers (2x 6x9"s with coved upholstered scoops to keep with retro vibe + 2x full spectrum 6"s + 10" under
dash/down firing subwoofers) complete the practicality and drivability checklist!
All Halogen and LED lighting (bright as you'd want!), vintage amber fog lights, front buckles, stone guards, custom
3m vinyl stripping, matching satin olive green/gold wheels, new tires (205/50 front 225/50 rear), racing style
front stabilizer/sway bar, new brakes (front disc, rear drum)
I have had many of these "replicas"...this is unique among the pack. Recently we took a 1200 mile trip to
Rennsport Reunion 2015, Laguna Seca Raceway for the largest Porsche meet possibly in the world; the president of
the Vintage Speedster Owners' club put our car in the very front and said ...QUOTE:
"This is what a true enthusiast's reproduction should look and sound like....not everyone can afford a real
speedster nor would they drive it on the street...you hit the nail on the head, man!!"
Did I mention that hard on the throttle it sounds like an enraged banshee, yet soft on the peddle and she purrs
like a kitten...literally.
You can buy some cookie cutter version of this car, a cheaper replica for $25K BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE BADDEST
SPEEDSTER TRIBUTE EVER BUILT!!!
A perfect fusion of a classic 356 tourer, Le Mans race car, classic muscle car, James Dean era icon and daily
driver.......

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
