The newly-unveiled Speedster Gen 2 from Stärke Motors is a modern Porsche 718 with a retro 356-style body and interior. For about US$135,000, anyone with a 2017 or newer 718 can have Stärke transform it into a Speedster.

Skirted fenders, spoke wheels, an air-cooled V-twin, an Indian ornament on the front fender, and plenty of leather … the very first Indian Chiefs epitomized early American motorcycling. The new Indian Chief Vintage carries forth that legacy.
