Found this on YouTube.its from a USA forum.
Shiny paint. Other than that, it doesn't do anything for me. Ironic, cuz when I see a 50s Speedster or Coupe, it stirs me.
Look like the Starke concept. Starke is advertizer here on SOC. https://starkespeedster.com/
But turnkey is like $159k so not replica priced. I do like that vendors are starting to modernize the platform - lots of drivers want modern amenities - even as basic as heat so if it keeps replicas going with the younger generation - it is better for all.
50k Euros plus donor Boxster ($58k). I think STARKE was $69k plus donor.
You would think they would clean the dead bugs off before filming.
You either want a 356 replica or you want a Boxster. This is like mating a horse with a donkey...you get a mule. Sorry, I don't think much of mules and less of this. I'd prefer to have a 356 rep and a Boxster not their offspring
So, what do you get if you mate a Porsche looking 356 body to a VW? ;-) I like my hybrid car... I like the look of the Starke too... just too much money and I would rather have the original Boxster as I think it's lines are very cool... Love the ideas of custom crafted cars... they are an art form and like all art, some like the final product and some don't! We wouldn't have this hobby with some artistic and clever folks coming up with great designs!
Happy New Year to all the SOC Guys!!! See ya'll in Carlisle!
It's a bit ironic, but some of us (including me) are becoming replica purests. LOL.
As with the Starke, I like it! Again, not something I would consider (don't have that kind of discretionary income), but I think that anything that draws attention to the Speedster is a good thing. I hope they sell a bunch of 'em.

You know, Troy, I've been thinking the same thing!
Some of us are becoming a little "stodgy" and narrow minded when it comes to our little plastic clown car abortions.
Sooo... what does the purist faction among us look like?
