In a city built upon luxury and driven by appearances, it\u2019s tough to really stand out among all the beautiful noise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Jeremy\u2019s 1957 <\/span>Porsche 356 Speedster replica, which marries classic good looks with modern engineering, and\u00a0sets itself apart in the LA landscape with clean lines and tasteful subtlety.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Porsche6\"<\/p>\n

A deep, vibrant navy blue with 18 karat gold accents, cinnamon interior, and bluetooth connectivity, Jeremy\u2019s speedster has the vintage look without the vintage feel. \u201cI knew I wanted a classic convertible<\/a>,\u201d he said, \u201cand I was attracted to the replica because it\u2019s a brand new car. It\u2019s like having your cake and eating it too,\u201d referring to the classic Hollywood look without the mechanical troubleshooting that sometimes comes with owning a classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Porsche5\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe car is flat-out gorgeous,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd because it’s brand new, you get all the head turns without the headaches of a 60-year-old automobile.\u201d And what\u2019s more, \u201cyou won\u2019t see it everywhere. It\u2019s not your average sports car; it\u2019s such a conversation starter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Porsche3\"<\/p>\n

One of the main conversation points? The gold accents. The finest details \u2014 the grill, the exhaust pipe, the door handles \u2014 are all 18 karat gold. Nothing says LA luxury quite like a golden door handle.<\/span><\/p>\n

So why share such a special car with strangers? “Whipping this car around the Hollywood Hills is a special experience. If I can share that experience with someone and put some passive income in my pocket at the same time, everyone wins,” he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a blast to drive; the punch, the power \u2014 it handles incredibly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Visiting LA and want to watch some jaws drop? Whether you\u2019re going to a red carpet premiere or just going for a drive up the PCH, channel your inner Bond or Bond girl and go in something truly one-of-a-kind. <\/span><\/p>\n
