PGO Speedster

The PGO Speedster looks really close to the old Porsche 356's.

Beautiful on the outside. Not so much on the inside. Wonder if U.S. regulations would allow it to be imported?

I'm a big fan of these new Speedster II's by PGO. They also make a regular Speedster replica based on new chassis from the Brazilian VW beetle plant. The new Speedster II is just fantastic. It has the classic design using very modern techniques. It has a tubular chassis and a hot mid mounted Peugeot engine. This car goes from 0-62mph in 7 sec. I really hope they make it but it's a big risk putting a car like that in production with all the investment needed. They have invested in a new factory, a full-time designer and have gone to the Paris stock exchange. I've put (some of) my money where my mouth is and bought some shares. They have an English version of their website but the videos are in French. www.pgo.fr will tell you all you need to know.

I would think the Peugeot engine would make the Speedster II a leper in the USA; Americans rarely hold Peugeots in very high regard with the possible exception of Peter Falk.

In the same vein, everyone was excited about the introduction of the DeLorean until his deal with Ferrari fell through and the cars were built with Renault drive trains.

And of course there is Citroen; even the Citroen-Maserati couldn't overcome the USA bias against French car quality. JMO...

Wow the Speedster II looks great!! But why that funky fiberfab/CMC
lookin' dash layout??
