Kitman Motors 356A Coupe Pro – Premium Pre-Hung Replica Kit
Experience the timeless elegance and grand touring spirit of the iconic Porsche 356A Coupe with our flagship Coupe Pro replica kit. Introduced in the mid-1950s, the 356A Coupe quickly became the sophisticated choice for enthusiasts seeking refined performance and everyday usability. Our Pro version faithfully captures that heritage while incorporating modern engineering advantages that make building easier, more precise, and far more enjoyable.
Key Premium Features of the Coupe Pro:
- Fully pre-hung doors with professional hinges and latches installed
- Pre-hung hood and decklid – fitted and ready
- Integrated bonded subframe for superior rigidity and structural integrity
- Block-sanded and primed body – save 40+ hours at the paint shop
- Front and rear bumpers, under-dash closeouts, and all mounting hardware included
- Available in LHD or RHD configurations
- Total body weight approximately 320–340 lbs (reflecting the more substantial Coupe structure)
Window Frame Option Hand-crafted window frames made with stainless steel and shipped in raw form – exact replicas of the Porsche 356 window frames. Precision fit for the Kitman Coupe.
The Coupe Pro is engineered around our built-in subframe system that seamlessly integrates with a shortened VW pan chassis (we partner with Washburn’s Metal for a discounted, perfectly matched shortened pan when purchased together). This setup uses a stock VW ball joint beam upfront and IRS transaxle in the rear. Perfect for classic air-cooled VW engines, modern performance upgrades, or our upcoming EV-ready powertrain options.
Why Builders Love the Kitman Coupe
- Best interior space in the 356 lineup — ideal for taller drivers and longer trips
- Premium fit and finish straight out of the mold
- In-house stainless window trim for a factory look
- Multiple chassis solutions to match your skill level and goals
- Lifetime technical support from real Kitman builders
- Ships fast from Texas (and California options) — no 16–24 month wait
Why Builders Choose the Coupe Pro Over Standard Kits Unlike base models, the Coupe Pro delivers a true premium, near-turnkey body experience. No more struggling with complex door alignment, hinge fitting, or subframe bonding – everything arrives pre-assembled, gap-perfect, and ready for rapid progress.
This refined approach sets Kitman Motors apart from the rest of the industry: obsessive attention to detail, factory-level fit and finish, and engineering that prioritizes both authenticity and buildability. It’s the ideal premium platform for builders who want professional results without sacrificing the rewarding hands-on experience of creating their own German-inspired masterpiece.
Chassis & Power Options Choose our recommended shortened VW pan + integrated subframe package or upgrade to a full custom tube chassis for higher-performance applications. Both integrate seamlessly with popular suspension, brake, wheel, and drivetrain upgrades. EV-ready chassis configurations available soon.
