A number of luxury cars with fantastic prices were damaged. One that caught the spotlight was a red Porsche 356.

Its body was wrecked, and components like the rims on Ahmad Sahroni's Porsche 356 were taken by looters.

There is an interesting fact behind this Porsche 356. It is believed to be a replica made by Tuksedo Studio from Bali.

Tuksedo Studio is known as a manufacturer of replicas of rare and classic vehicles that are no longer mass-produced.

Ahmad Sahroni's Porsche 356 A Coupe is one of them. He even became the first person in Indonesia to own a Porsche 356 replica made by Tuksedo Studio.

In terms of exterior, its appearance follows the original Porsche 356. There are no changes, while the interior is wrapped in woven-patterned leather material.

In the engine department, the Porsche 356 made by Tuksedo Studio is equipped with a 2,200 cc boxer engine.

In the original model, this car started with a 1,100 cc engine before the next 1,600 cc variant was introduced.
