I dont care for the wheels but it's still sweet& I would trade my glass 356 any day for one.

Well, that's pretty cool (with the obvious exception of the fender visors over the wheels).

This is what the Boxster should have been, I think. Except with a 4cyl version of the flat 6, of course.

They did a good job keeping the seat-to-axle distance short. For that matter, they did well to keep it short axle-to-axle.

I wonder what it weighs?

Agree that it should have come from Porsche. Maybe they will be inspired by this?

PGO also produced a 356A Speedster Replica. In fact, they started off as a 356A Speedster Replica(r) manufacturer.

This replica(r) developped into the so called 'Speedster II' and this Cevennes is the even more 'contemporary version' of a Speedster.

It has developped over the years and looks pretty good now.

By the way: engine and other technical parts are Peugeot...

I would love to see a modern version of the 356 by one of the big companies. Preferably rear engine and affordable.

Right now the closest thing out there I would say is the Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ. I have driven both and am very impressed, just wish they had more displacement for their weight. A 2.2 or more would be nice, the hp is good but just needs more low end torque. That little engine has to push around a 2750 lb car which is 750 more than a 356. I know rumor has it that they are going to add a turbo but that is not my cup of tea.

When I bumped my 356a engine up to 1900cc the car became such a joy to drive.

For me AUDI TT looks the part but falls short on price, weight and AWD. The beauty of the 356 was it's simplicity and light weight. Dan
