About Porsche 356 Speedster
The Porsche 356 Speedster was a stripped-down version of the 356 that was first introduced in 1954. It was created in response to requests from Porsche's US importer, Max Hoffman, for a cheaper, more basic version of the car that would be popular with American buyers.The Speedster had a lower windshield and a minimalist, lightweight interior that featured bucket seats and a Spartan dashboard. The car was powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produced around 60 horsepower.
Despite its relatively low price and simple design, the 356 Speedster quickly became a cult classic among Porsche enthusiasts. Today, it is one of the most sought-after models in the 356 lineup, with collectors willing to pay top dollar for well-preserved examples as well as complete basket cases.
