Appearance: Unprecedented Accuracy for 1957 Cabriolet styling and proportions

     

Correct   wheelbase, track, length, width, ride height 

 

      When we began the design of the custom high performance chassis for our Cabriolet we were unencumbered by the necessity to fit our body to a VW pan or the VW suspension components.

      We chose to use the dimensions and features of original cars as our design basis and then provided a state-of-the-art driveline and custom suspension.

      This decision reflects throughout the entire car and is not found in any other 1957 replica.
