PORSCHE 356 PRE-A 1500 SPEEDSTER-1954
CODICE RDS00434

La 356 Speedster è considerata una delle auto più affascinanti della storia. Nasce da un’idea del geniale importatore americano Max Hoffman, che nel 1950 suggerì alla Porsche la realizzazione di un’auto: spider, spartana, leggera e veloce. L’anno successivo nasce la « America Roadster », capostipite della 356 Speedster. Questa vettura fu un successo da parte del pubblico, ma un fallimento dal punto di vista economico, visto che i costi di produzione e di conseguenza i costi di vendita erano molto alti. Si è quindi deciso per una versione più economica, ma con gli stessi concetti. Per abbassare i costi si optò per una carrozzeria in acciaio, finestrini rimovibili con telai in tela, capote in tela senza fodera, parabrezza più piccolo, interni ridotti al minimo indispensabile e due semplici sedili alleggeriti.

Le véhicule en détail

Thus was born the 356 Speedster 1.500, which saw its debut in America in September 1954, while in Europe we had to wait for the summer of 1955

Thus lightened and with a lively 1,500 cc engine, the Speedster showed off very reactive dynamic behavior and surprising acceleration, which immediately appealed to lovers of sporty driving. In fact, the car soon took part in races, where it also achieved some victories. such as the famous actor James Dean, who frequently delighted in racing with his beloved Speedster

Among the various competitions, the Speedster 1500 also took part in the Mille Miglia in 1954; which makes it by right eligible for the most famous historic car competition in the world.

The 356 Speedster 1500 « Pre-A » is in fact particularly sought after by enthusiasts, not only because it was produced in small numbers (especially those built in ’54), but also because it was the only one to have the privilege of participating in the 1000 Miglia.
Over the years the 356 Speedster saw some evolutions until 1958, when it was replaced by the 356 convertible D.§
