ABOUT THE SPEEDSTER:
 
erry Porsche saw a market for a small, light two seater roadster and was unable to find a car in the market that matched his preference. He decided to build a car which became the first 356 and the first sportscar to bear the Porsche name. During 1950 Max Hoffman, the sole importer of Porsches in the USA was achieving excellent sales success for the company. He suggested to Ferry Porsche that he could do even better if he had a car that would compete with the imported English sportscars and fit the needs of the American market.He suggested this new model would resemble a small Jaguar XK120 and be available at a more competitive price than the current 356 range. In October 1950 Erwin Komeda drew up plans for the new car and a prototype was produced by Sauter. This was shown to Max Hoffman in 1951 who enthusiastically named it the America Roadster - Porsche designated it the Type 540.
