One of Porsche's greatest creations, the 356A Carrera GT! The idea was to offer a stripped-down coupe utilizing the 550 Spyder's high performance engine for buyers looking for a weekend racer! Its lightweight and nimble performance granted amateur racers a great platform to work with! The idea was an instant success and built from 1955-1958 with an increase in both displacement and horsepower with yearly improvements. Owning a Carrera Four Cam powered Porsche today can be an expense that will drain even the most well-healed of bank accounts, so having the opportunity to be seated in a replica will likely be the only alternative for most collectors today.
Enter JPS Motorsports based in North Hollywood, California, who are very well established in Porsche 356 Coupe and Speedster replica production, to bring a Carrera GT Coupe replica to the market! They produce some of the finest turn-key replicas in the world! Built on a Type 1 Volkswagen IRS 5-lug chassis made of 120-gauge stamped steel, the hand laid and steel reinforced fiberglass bodies are meticulously mated together for a precise fit! Everything fitted to the car from the brakes, suspension, engine & transmission, wiring, and interior appointments are all brand new. The finest details are not left unnoticed, and wait times are often upwards of two years!
We are very pleased to offer this beautiful constructed 1958 Porsche 356A Carrera GT Outlaw Coupe replica finished in traditional Porsche GT Silver exterior and Dark Navy Blue interior fitted with comfortable Carrera Speedster bucket seats with black/white pepita cloth inserts! At the rear rests a brand new, performance-tuned 2180cc dual port engine, ported & polished EMPI fly-cut heads; fully balanced 90.5 mm Mahle pistons & barrels, 82mm counter-weighted crankshaft, and connecting rods; 110 Engel Scat cam, dual Weber 44IDF carburetors, lightened flywheel, 200mm Sachs clutch & cover, full-flow oil system with remote oil filter, additional external oil cooler, along with a modified single-tuck center-exit exhaust system that now produces an estimated 150+ horsepower! The former owner had this engine built by a retired Porsche mechanic to his specifications, along with a brand new clutch in 2020. The mileage on this engine amounts to only 350 miles.
It delivers power through a 3.88 ring & pinion 4-speed Pro-Street transmission with Vintage Speed short-throw shifter!

This special ordered vehicle was built in approximately 2017 and has only 1,363 road miles recorded on the odometer between two careful owners! It is titled under its chassis year, a 1968 Volkswagen.
