Fans of the iconic Porsche Speedster now have the
opportunity to buy an incredibly accurate replica courtesy of a company called
Stärke. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Stärke has just revealed its replica
Speedster which uses a Porsche Boxster as its base and then adopts a host of
custom interior and exterior parts.
Stärke will accept any Boxster built between 1998
and 2012 and immediately sets about stripping the sports car down to its shell.
From there, the company fits new body panels almost identical to the flowing
and curvaceous parts of the original, including similar wheel arches and those
famed circular headlights.
The company offers a range of different Boxster
conversions to suit a variety of budgets. The packages start out with the
Speedster CS for US$ 59,950 (excluding the donor car).
For those that want more, both the Speedster Outlaw
and Speedster Carbon Fiber Outlaw are available. The first of those adds some
more modern styling cues to the sports car as well as a new exhaust system and
Bilstein adjustable coilovers. The Speedster Carbon Fiber Outlaw looks largely
the same as the regular Outlaw but utilizes body panels made from carbon fiber.
It also adds a 375 hp, 3.7-liter engine.
Prices for the Outlaw start at US$ 79,950 while the
Carbon Fiber Outlaw costs a minimum of US$ 149,950.
