保时捷356 Speedster

    1954年，进口车经销商马克斯•霍夫曼说服保时捷公司（Porsche）生产一款配置简易的敞篷版356，Speedster由此诞生。和所有356车型一样，它的引擎、悬挂和底盘都来自大众，但凭借独特的龟背式车尾和缩短的挡风玻璃，它成了周末赛车的宠儿。Speedster总共只生产了几千辆，因此一直是各路收藏家挖空心思搜罗的对象。

    复活理由

    保时捷的主打车型售价超过10万美元，所以是时候为不那么阔绰的买家打造一辆经济版的车型了。

    Porsche 356 Speedster

    In 1954, import car dealer Max Hoffman lobbied Porsche to build a stripped, open-top version of the 356. Thus, the Speedster was born. Like all 356's, its engine, suspension, and chassis came from Volkswagen, but with its distinctive turtle-backed shape and cut-down windshield, it became popular for weekend racing. Only a few thousand Speedsters were ever produced, and they are highly sought-after by collectors.

    Why it should be revived

    As prices for mainstream Porsches speed past $100k, it is time to create a bargain-priced model for less-affluent buyers.
