Based on the 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster, the eSpeedster has a retro look combined with modern technology and a 39.2kW 3-phase AC electric motor powered by lithium iron phosphate batteries.? With the 50?s classic look, the eSpeedster has all the conveniences a driver could want including temperature control, regenerative braking, full leather interior, and an iPod-ready stereo, to name a few.
?We?ve seen a great response to our new eSpeedster model since it?s 100% clean, stylish, and incredibly fun to drive for both men and women alike,? said Melisse Perr?, co-founder of Duke?s Garage. ?These cars have it all ? a classic style with an electric motor that meets today?s needs of treading lightly on the environment.?
The Spyder is based on the 1955 Porsche Spyder 550 S and is custom-built with either a VW or Subaru gasoline engine.? This replica is a combination of the memorable classic Spyder with modern suspension, high-performance engine, four=speed pro-street transmission, four-wheel disc brakes and high-quality leather interior.? Both the Speedster and Spyder are available in various colors including: black, silver, red, blue as well as custom colors.
