Description
Speedsters are delighted to offer this truly unique ‘Spartan Outlaw’, an exceptional hand-built evocation of the iconic 1950s German sports coupe that perfectly captures the spirit of the legendary Californian Outlaw movement.
Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate lightweight engineering, mechanical purity and exhilarating driving dynamics, this one-off build combines timeless 1950s styling with modern performance, upgraded braking, bespoke engineering and an unmistakable race-inspired aesthetic.
Finished in a deliberately weathered matt yellow competition-inspired finish, the Spartan Outlaw has been built to evoke the appearance of a well-used period race car while benefiting from carefully selected modern components throughout. Built on a 1973 Volkswagen donor chassis with new sub-chassis and floorpans, this is a highly individual driver’s car that attracts attention wherever it goes.
The Spartan Outlaw is not intended to be a concours recreation it is something altogether more exciting.
Inspired by the legendary outlaw movement, it delivers a wonderfully raw driving experience, combining lightweight construction, a potent 2165cc air-cooled engine, an uprated Pro Street gearbox, high-performance braking system and timeless coupe styling.
Whether you’re looking for a standout show car, a thrilling weekend B-road machine or simply one of the most distinctive hand-built classics on the market, the Spartan Outlaw offers an experience few cars can match.
