Can you still remember the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Replica on HRE rims recall? The Benz made for a certain Schnappatmung of die-hard SL fans in the Las Vegas Convention Center for the SEMA 2018 auto show. And now the builder has John Sarkisyan another dream vehicle put on the legs. And this time it is not a Benz but a completely transformed Porsche 993 convertible. And this vehicle is probably rarer than the proverbial six in the lottery. In contrast to the 1989er 911 based on the so-called G-model and the 911 based on the 964-er series, Porsche has no 993 back then official Speedster built. On the basis of the series 993 also two copies emerged as Speedster but the goods were intended for two prominent owners and not for the public. On the one hand a green copy on the occasion of the 60. Birthday of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and one in silver for the US comedian and Porsche fan Jerry Seinfeld.
And now there are as beautiful beautiful Reply this 993 with a 3,6-liter six-cylinder engine and 315 hp (series 270 hp). A vehicle that was created on the basis of a 993 convertible and was built with countless parts from the 964. The most expensive component is the windshield which, according to Sarkisyan, "the last windscreen in the repertoire of Porsche was". The pane alone cost $ 50.000 and the necessary window rubbers another $ 2.000. The body of the Speedster appears in an extra-wide widebody dress and scores with a modified front apron, new front fenders and huge side skirts. The side skirts open into extremely fat wheelhouses at the rear and even the rear apron with its large air openings is anything but inconspicuous. And very similar to the 300 SL on HRE Alus, the wheelset is also quite flashy here.
Fifteen52 Magnus Walker Outlaw Forged Wheels
The builder has decided for multipart Fifteen52 Magnus Walker Outlaw Forged Wheels According to information from Sarkisyan 3 x were painted until the result corresponded to what you imagined. A look through the openings of the wheels also reveals a new brake system from Brembo with large perforated discs and silver gray painted calipers. And like the 300 SL, the Speedster also carries yellow Tire stickers with TOYO Tires lettering. And also the cabin has changed completely. There is a high-quality caramel-colored full leather interior and the two thin sports seats are a new type of Recaro bucket seats that have just appeared in the trade.
every corner of the cabin lined with leather
Many small details such as the wooden gear knob, the 3 spoke steering wheel or the embossed Porsche logo in the leather round off the completely new reconditioned cabin impressively. And also outside and under the metal sheet there are more details than we can write down here. We would like to mention the handmade sports exhaust system, the partially painted and gilded engine and of course the distinctive cover for the soft top. A dream on wheels!
