Porsche 356 Speedster restored by Porsche Santa Clarita

Porsche Santa Clarita restored the 1955 model, the Porsche 356 Speedster. It is part of the 2021 Porsche Restoration Challenger project.

The car was bought from the owner who used it as a race car for the last 50 years. The Reutter Karosserie body is painted in greenish blue with elegantly placed headlights at the front and a louvered decklid at the back.

After the modification, the 356 Speedster is equipped with chrome bumpers, shaved rocker moldings and taillights, 15 “front and 16” rear wheels painted in gold, factory exhaust pipes.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in a combination of red leather and fabric. A traditional two-spoke steering wheel and new floor coverings have been installed. The complete restoration was overseen by Galpin President and Chief Operating Officer, Beau Boeckmann.

The Porsche 356 Speedster is powered by a 1600 SC engine with 95 hp at 5,800 rpm. The drive is transmitted to the rear wheels by a 519 transaxle.

Porsche Taycan with the new TechArt body kit

German tuner TechArt has introduced a new body kit for the EV Porsche Taycan. It contains carbon fiber components in glossy black or a color of your choice.

The car uses the same powertrain as the base Taycan. For example, the Taycan 4S is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 435 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The engines are centrally mounted on the front and rear axles. It reaches 62 mph in 4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h). The 93.4 kWh Lithium-ion battery produces enough juice to cover a range of 233 miles (375 km).

At the front of the vehicle are air curtains, a front splitter and a central intake, all made of carbon fiber. At the rear, there is a multi-part carbon fiber diffuser frame and a sports spoiler that shows that it is not a basic Porsche Taycan.

The interior is done in a sporty spirit. The seats are upholstered in perforated black leather and jet-black Alcantara. Contrasting green elements and embroidered TECHART logotype can be found on the seats, dashboard and door trims.

The car uses forged aluminum Formula VI 10.0 x 22-inch (front) and 11.5 x 22-inch (rear) wheels.
