Porsche Boxster 987 Does A Great 356 Speedster Impression, Don’t You Think?

The Porsche 356 Speedster is one of the most desirable models the German car manufacturer ever made but supply is limited and prices are sky-high.

The second-generation Porsche Boxster (987), on the other hand, is much more affordable and offers the advantage of modern performance and reliability. By now you see where this is going: there’s a company in the UK called Total Headturners that can turn your 987 into a 356 Speedster replica.

The result is called Iconic Autobody 387 Speedster and is quite special. It combines the best of both worlds: the iconic design of the 356 Speedster with the modern drivetrain, safety and creature comforts of the Boxster 987.

The example you see in the photos is the first one built by Total Headturners and is on sale for £69,995 (approximately $83,400). So what do you get for the money, besides the cool combination of 356 Speedster looks and 237 HP (240 PS) 2.7-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine hooked to a six-speed manual transmission?

Well, the body is finished in a Melting Silver paint while the interior features Saddle half leather, Porsche Pepita fabric inserts and new wool carpets. Keeping the retro theme is a set of 
bespoke 19-inch split rim alloys, round headlamps with LEDs, heated bespoke windscreen, as well as old-school side mirrors and bumpers.

As you can expect from a second-generation Porsche Boxster, it’s well-equipped with an electric soft top, automatically adjustable rear spoiler, heated seats, climate control, and more.

This particular car has 69,000 miles (111,044 km) under its belt which means there’s plenty of life left in the drivetrain. If there’s something you don’t like about it, Total Headturners can build you an Iconic Autobody 387 Speedster to suit your exact tastes.
