Retro-modern Starke Gen 2 Speedster is a Porsche 356 dupe spiced-up with modern creature comforts - Yanko Design

"Stärke Motor Company didn't want to create something that every other automaker is doing. Their ambition is to fuse classic performance four-wheeler vibes and modern features into a vehicle that is hard to miss on the streets. Meet the Gen 2 Speedster that looks like the Porsche 356 dupe (it actually is), albeit a little longer and having a lower ride height than the all-time classic."

"The retro-inspired roadster borrows the look of a 1950s classic while bringing the comfort and drivability of a modern Porsche into a hand-built car that time-travels. Infact the heart of the Gen 2 Speedster is a 2017+ Porsche 718 Boxster platform with the chassis of the original making up for the structure. The real magic happens with the custom-fit interiors and other body components that are 3D printed to fit the 718 chassis."

"The brain of this damsel is the optional turbocharged flat-fours, or the naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six. Buyers can choose from a 6-speed manual, or a 7-speed PDK transmission. Gen 2 Speedster retains the old school vibe of the bumpers, round headlights, and oval taillights. The unadorned flanks fit right into the mix, and the low-profile tires lend the car a bit of chalk and cheese aesthetic."
