This stunning vehicle pays homage to the iconic 356 and is based on the technology of the Porsche 718 GT4 e-Performance. With its striking design and impressive performance, the Vision 357 Speedster takes centre stage among more than 15 new and classic Porsche models showcased at the festival.

The Porsche Vision 357 Speedster features a shortened front windscreen and a one-sided tonneau cover, capturing the essence of a classic speedster. Its two-tone colour scheme, inspired by historic motorsport, combines Marble Grey and Grivelo Grey Metallic with contrasting Miami Blue accents.

The exterior design incorporates elements reminiscent of the Porsche 356, such as the four-point light signet and the vertical grille pattern in the rear. The wide track, 20-inch magnesium wheels, and carbon fibre hubcaps contribute to the car’s sporty and aggressive stance.

Inside the Vision 357 Speedster, the focus is on the driver. The low-slung seat position, carbon-fibre seat shell, and six-point seat belt with a Miami Blue strap create a true sports car experience. The interior features a minimalist design with a carbon-weave finish on the dashboard and fabric straps in place of conventional door handles. The instrument cluster sits transparently atop the steering column, and the racing steering wheel adds to the lightweight feel of the car.

The Vision 357 Speedster is powered by electric motors and battery technology derived from the Porsche Mission R, while the chassis is based on the Porsche 718 GT4 Clubsport. This combination delivers impressive performance and driving dynamics.

Following its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the concept car will be showcased at the Rennsport Reunion in the USA later in the year. We managed to get a sneak peek of the car in person at the festival; check out those wheels!

Overall, the Porsche Vision 357 Speedster exemplifies Porsche’s commitment to timeless design, outstanding performance, and motorsport excellence.

The centre showpiece of Porsche’s 75th anniversary is the unveiling of a new Vision 357 concept. This sleek concept pays homage to the original 356 first created in 1948 by Ferdinand Porsche.

The Vision 357 concept is built on an existing 718 Cayman GT4 RS, and it is on display for the first time in Berlin at the ‘Driven by Dreams’ exhibition. Don’t need to rush to get that next flight over, as the exhibition will run in Berlin until 10th September, with different displays that highlight the brand’s success story.

“It underlines the importance of our design DNA based on the 356. The proportions are reminiscent of the historical model, while details visualise the view into the future,” from Michael Mauere, Vice President for Style Porsche.

The celebrations will continue in June when Porsche Germany will kick off the ‘Festival of Dreams’ at the Hockenheimring. This large festival will see various vehicle exhibitions, themed experiences, and even overnight options.

To sweeten the deal even further, the 24 Hours of Le Mans race will be broadcasted live as well, a homage to Porsche being the only uninterrupted participant since 1951. The German marque has an impressive race history, with 110 class and 19 overall victories since it started.

For museum exhibitions, various Porsche-themed events will be held in Los Angeles, Austria, and Switzerland. These festivities will congregate in the ‘Rennsport Reunion’ car festival in California, which is slated to happen at the end of September.
