Yeah a Cayman engine and harder chassis,springs and a roll cage!
But I would rather put a cycle engine in it (like in the Zcars Mini).
The 356 is a great car for oldtimer rallys.

Explenation why this car was built in Austria:
Porsche went to Gmünd in Austria in 1944 because Stuttgart was threat of bomb attacks.
The first Porsche (Porsche 356 Nr. 1 Roadster) was built there.
Some years after the second world war (1950) they went back to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.
