This very first Speedster prototype marks the launch of a fresh-air legend. At the request of US-American Porsche importer Max Hoffmann Porsche produces a spartanly furnished Porsche 356 that could be sold for less than 3,000 dollars. Unique features of the Speedster include its rain top, side plug-in windows, and externally mounted, low windshield. The Speedster is originally available only in the USA.
