Here’s a different take on “outlaw”: https://starkespeedster.com
“The Stärke Revolution Speedster is a bespoke, handcrafted, vintage styling, body & interior conversion that is available exclusively for the 1997-2012 Porsche® Boxster.”

Two words: hideous abomination.

I have to disagree. While I wouldn't buy one, I applaud the concept.

It is a much better concept than the VW based Speedster kits.

I received the new Excellence Magazine a couple of days ago and there is a full page ad for this car in there. I hope it is a fully engineered conversion, after reading LS376's thread on the Renegade LS conversion and all that he had to do to make it work! And at least it is converting a Porsche to another Porsche. A few years ago there was an article about a guy who made his Boxster into a Karmann Ghia. That was just wrong, that conversion should have been done on an Audi TT, as the Audi TT is the actual successor to the Karmann Ghia.

I like the Stärke Revolution Speedster but it's not for me!

I like the concept of taking a very inexpensive, easily available Porsche and re-making (do I dare say "re-imagining"?) it into something with greater performance, visual appeal, and marketability.

With that being said, I don't think that the world needs yet another 356 replica and thus, I would have rather seen a re-design of the Boxster itself into a more sporting, aggressive, and appealing design.

In another 25 years, I'll buy the kit to convert a 718 into a simple, clean 986.
