A Wild Side of Porsche: The Strosek Mega Speedster on Carhuna

Founded by visionary designer Vittorio Strosek, the German tuning house became renowned for its radical reimaginings of classic sports cars, especially Porsches. Strosek took the Porsche DNA and infused it with an avant-garde aesthetic and also enhanced performance, creating vehicles that were unmistakably bold and unapologetically different.

Vittorio Strosek, a protégé of the legendary German designer Luigi Colani, founded Strosek Auto Design in the early 1980s. His philosophy was simple: take the iconic forms of sports cars like Porsche and give them a unique, aerodynamic twist. Strosek’s designs often featured widened fenders, sculpted body lines, and distinctive rear spoilers, making the cars instantly recognisable. The modifications weren’t limited to being cosmetic. Strosek’s enhancements often improved aerodynamics and handling, resulting in cars that were as fast as they were eye-catching.

Strosek quickly became synonymous with high-end Porsche tuning, attracting a clientele who wanted exclusivity and performance in one package. Models like the Strosek 928 and the Strosek 911 Turbo were celebrated for their unique styling and engineering upgrades. But it was the Strosek Mega Speedster, a reimagined Porsche 911 Speedster, which became one of the most iconic representations of the brand’s daring approach to automotive design.

Now live in a Carhuna auction and presented by DK Engineering, the 1994 Strosek Mega Speedster is a rare opportunity for enthusiasts to own a lesser seen Porsche project. Based on the rare Porsche 964 Speedster, this example embodies the radical vision that defined Strosek's approach. It features a striking body kit, complete with widened arches, unique bumpers, and a sleek, streamlined silhouette that distinguishes it from the standard Speedster. The modifications give the car an aggressive yet elegant presence, making it a true head-turner.

This particular Mega Speedster is finished in Grand Prix white with a black leatherette interior, perfectly highlighting its bold, aerodynamic lines. Under the hood, the car retains the Porsche 3.6-litre flat-six engine, delivering the signature sound and performance that Porsche fans adore. Paired with a manual gearbox, it offers an exhilarating driving experience, with a blend of raw power and the refined handling expected from a Strosek-tuned car.

With only a handful of Mega Speedsters produced, this example is exceedingly rare. The car comes with an extensive history file, documenting its journey from new and including service records that showcase its meticulous care. In 2023, it underwent a thorough inspection and servicing by DK Engineering, ensuring it remains in peak condition.

This 1994 Strosek Mega Speedster is a statement piece, a symbol of a bygone era when automotive design was about taking risks and breaking norms. The Carhuna auction is live now and runs until November 20th. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the most distinctive Porsches ever created, offered by DK Engineering in an auction powered by Carhuna.
