This 1972 Volkswagen Speedster Widebody Replica showcases German engineering with a performance-oriented twist. The dark British Racing Green exterior pairs perfectly with the tan canvas top, creating a classic roadster aesthetic. Flared fenders house 17-inch Fuchs-style wheels, giving this Speedster an aggressive stance. Dual exhaust tips emerge from the center of the rear bumper, hinting at the vehicle's sporty nature. The slanted windshield and fender-mounted mirrors add authentic touches to this meticulously crafted replica.
The interior boasts light brown vinyl bucket seats that complement the exterior color scheme. A wood-rimmed steering wheel and wooden shift knob provide tactile satisfaction during spirited drives. Tweed carpeting lines the floor and sides, adding a touch of sophistication. VDO-style gauges with chrome bezels offer clear readouts, while drilled pedals reinforce the car's performance-oriented design. Textured side sills and small rear seats complete the purposeful yet stylish cabin.
Powering this German-inspired roadster is a 1600cc flat-four engine, breathing through dual single-barrel carburetors. The engine bay showcases newer components, including a Bosch ignition system and alternator. A four-speed manual transaxle delivers power to the rear wheels, offering an engaging driving experience. Upgraded to four-wheel disc brakes and riding on an independent suspension, this Speedster replica provides improved handling and stopping power compared to its vintage counterpart.
