Pure Form With Function: The Outlaw Racers 356

Pure Form With Function: The Outlaw Racers 356

Ultimate Dubs 2024 was one for the books. By now you’ve probably seen Mario’s foremost event story and his spotlights on a slammed Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16, sublime Mk1 Volkswagen Golf, and stunning Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 recreation. If not, I suggest you check all of them out.

Today, I need to share certainly one of my standouts from the show – a automotive that has been around for a couple of years but continues to impress and encourage wherever it goes. James Rudland’s Outlaw Racers Porsche 356 Coupé.

A 356 like no other, James’ automotive – which includes a fibreglass body draped over a T1-based chassis – showcases immense attention to detail.

In creating this Outlaw-style 356, James didn’t rush the design process. He meticulously planned out each stage of the construct, using his visual skills as knowledgeable photographer to supply something that stands out in a sea of other Porsche builds and appears interesting from all angles.

From the moment James had the vision, there was no stopping him. Customised from front to back and top to bottom, his 356 Outlaw is a real statement piece.

Bodywork was entrusted to Specialist Paintworks, who laid down the custom green hue. It’s not a color you’ll normally associate with an Outlaw Porsche construct – they’re often silver or black – however it works so well.

From the yellow headlights with chrome mesh stone guards to the gold-centred wheels, every last detail is taken into account.

Speaking of wheels, Gekrenzert in Germany taken care of their custom rebuild. Starting with French-made Tramont TY-1 centres, the specs now read 16×5.5-inch ET43 on the front with zero lips, and 16×6.6-inch ET30 out back with stepped lips.

Pulling the entire look together is a custom suspension setup from EvaResto. Together with a narrowed beam, an air ride system using Air Lift Performance management allows the 356 to put right down on its belly.

It’s still low at driving height but can take in the bumps with ease. That’s essential too, as there’s a red-hot motor sitting out back.

The two,276cc Volkswagen engine built by Herbert Performance Company in Nevada, USA features Superflow cylinder heads, an SLR XR310 cam, and modified 44mm IDF carburettors. All told the flat-four is nice for 180hp, which is loads for this small, lightweight coupé. Backing it up is a Pro-Street swing-axle gearbox running a 3.88 ratio.

Speedhunters Outlaw 356 SC-20

That leaves the inside, which has been given the complete custom treatment too. SJ Bowles Coach Trimming is liable for a number of the work, and plush diamond-stitched leather trim might be found wrapped throughout the cabin, the fuel tank within the frunk, and even the engine bay.

I like the raw aluminium seats, which before being converted to be used on this construct with custom leather bottom squabs lived one other life in a Westland Lynx military helicopter.

The dual Breitling stopwatches are an aesthetic touch too, as is the custom steering wheel.

When this 356 isn’t commanding attention and winning awards at quite a few automotive shows, you possibly can sometimes spot it absorbing the miles on British roads – something James plans to do more often this yr.

Looking back on the construct and show appearances, a favorite moment that stands out to James was when his Outlaw 356 took certainly one of the ten foremost awards on the 2023 Risenation Hall Of Fame. Yearly, that event attracts a few of the most effective modified show cars in Europe, so winning is an actual testament to the thought, work and a focus to detail that has gone into this stunning construct.
