- What happens when two brothers who build super high-end classic German vehicles get together on a project? You get this: A crazy clean Porsche 550 Spyder. But this ain't no ordinary 550... this one's been chopped up, modded for a center seat, and given the usual John Sarkisyan treatment with impeccable interior and an engine that's been built to 200hp and gold plated. And as a bonus, Larry Chen gives us a little your of John's workshop where these mad creations come from.

finally, a car built with enough room for all my friends!
nice one
ahhh same :(
This guy's builds are Incredible.
Every time John takes one of his builds it SEMA it steals the show... That’s a way to make a statement!
I would never be able to drive a car like this; its too far into art work territory.
like the coup better but this is how they should have built'em in the first place the finished look is so sweet. a car should make you ache with wanting even if you own it / this takes you there, very professional.
I really enjoy how the builder always has a microfiber towel in his hands touching things up as he walks around. You can really tell how much pride he has in his work, and the love that he puts into the builds. It's amazing to have that level of intimacy with something you have created. Something a lot of people do not experience these days.
It`s very camp tbh
I lost my brother about 10 years ago you was a car guy for sure nothing touches my heart more in the story and him saying my brother and work together I have created something incredible continue doing what you doing because you're good at it my eyes are just popping out my head looking at this car great work
This guy has the most beautiful and creative builds of anyone I can think of. Congrats to everyone involved and for the vision. This car and the SLK are 11/10!
Omfg , sauce dripping literally everywhere off this 550. My god. This is the most beautiful car I've seen to date
Talk about a talented builder. This guy is an artist. What a car. Incredible style. Love the color combination with the leather and plaid.
That’s is probably the coolest go cart in the world. Awesome build! Larry always bringing the coolest cars on his show. 👍🏻
He is an artist.
Two of my favourite builds ever - really puts custom car culture on the main stage
Doesn't sound like you actually built this for your brother lol
Carcaine will make you come up with the craziest excuses to own a car. 🤣😂
@@LarryChenPhoto truth
Love this channel, Larry's opens up "I'm really excited"
And if Larry's excited, I'm excited !
In my opinion having a one seat car is the ultimate baller status!.....?!? And the James Bond music in the first minute was Elite
That orange leather with the mystic brown... *chef's kiss*
Just wow 🤩 I can’t actually believe this thing was real when I saw it on sema very beautiful car
John is Crazy Talented ... GJ
Here's a news flash for all of the critics on here that don't like his design choices - He doesn't care if you like the color or his choice of rims. He built the car for himself and if he likes it that's all that matters. The car is designed to show off his skills as a designer/builder. If you want one in a different color pay him to build you one and pick your own colors.
Precioso !
A work of art and a tribute to what a genuine classic car is.
Congratulations
This guy..! Crazy build as always, damn!
Thats the kind of art I like, no expenses spared.
This guys makes some of the best interiors I’ve ever seen.
That intro was awesome! Larry this channel is killing it, I'm loving it all.
That Porsche looks so much better with no bumpers.
Reminded me of Dave Fisher's Heart of Gold. Not many gold plated aircooled engines out there. Thank you.
Stunning build and the color combination works very well!
Super sweet old Porsche spyder. I like the steampunk ish looking parts. The brown gold and orange works really well. Pretty engine bay, looks tidy and gold plated. Magnesium stacks? Very nice. Well done guys.
Edward Kwak titanium. He misspoke
I had this Idea a few years ago, got broke lost everything back in 2017.... great project, great video, perfect !!!! More videos please, best wishes from Germany, Bobby
I love this guys work! He's a true craftsman. His cars remind me of Maxwell Hazans motorcycles, almost too beautiful to fire up and drive.
This gentleman's work is simply UNBELIEVABLE!!! He has a great eye. It's as if he has been inside my brain. Same exact taste as mine.
John definitely likes building 912’s. It’s good to see someone doing some different 912 builds. Love all of John’s work.
I love everything about this 550 spyder I would've liked it two seat style too
Great color
It’s so cool and is very well put together ，Great video thank you Larry.
Fresh J's, Incredible Car, Outstanding Photographer. What more you need folks?!
Craftsmanship alert.
Absolute stellar work!!! Awesome builds.
This guys cars always look amazing. Rolling Art
Oh wow awesome understatement this guys builds are incredible
Top of The Pyramid.
Porche Selfish Spider, 99 percent of Perfect!
Great Show Hoonigan, Captured, Like I was there Dude.
I'm glad everything works, very workable working work
not exactly my style of car, but damn. that attention to detail is insane. incredible builds this guy is making. big props!
Finally a video for the air cooled guys! Lol sweet ride
That’s the nicest one I have seen by far
love your art. absolutely amazing!!!
I have been driving Porsche for more than 25 years but this is the best thing I have ever seen
This is the best looking car I’ve ever seen
Fn beautiful car! My dream garage list just keeps growing
Hmm... Seems like Larry LOVES this.
.
.
Love, Love, Love, Love... Love, Love, Love
All Johns builds tickle my pickle, hard-core! I'm... "so finished" haha. You did say that alot.
Taking a break from watching builds for awhile after this video. This actually fulfilled my car appetite.
Really chill artist. Another 10/10.
GtstangLv - Artist for sure. He’s more than a builder.
That is a seriously gorgeous and cool build. Yowza.
Wow really nice finished car!
On the brown note...... ;) my dad had a 69 Chevelle SS 396 in "root beer"......"metallic brown"......
It always stood out!
Superb photos
On to the next one, proud of you John!
The dude builds insane cars
This is so beautiful!
I would NEVER buy a brown car... Until now this guy is a genius with mods and colors EVERYTHING on this build works
Everything this guy builds is so Cool
Beautiful!!
Magnifique ! Superbe ! Travail d'orfévres !
I love the plad! Ten years I've been trying to find someone to let me wrap a vehicle with plad accents
@Nick F if you bought enough plaid vinyl to share AND lived near me I'd consider it. Plaid will look great if it's done right
absolutely Beautiful car with a great collection
The car is beautiful!!! A set of yellow tints or yellow headlights would look Awesome 😎🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
His builds are so dope
Very nice work.
We have just acquired the very last Alfa 8C Spyder bodyshell ever made (never used) from 2010. We were always going to do something special with it but having seen this car our decision is made. Watch out for the single-seat Alfa 8C "Barchetta" coming soon.
That car is AMAZING.
That's raw I love it.
Sweet color combo!
I love the hinge on the frunk
Jaw dropping automotive perfect in my opinion 👌🏻 🤤 get that man some mitts made of that microfibre he had stuck to his hand the whole time, everything he touched he wiped and then would wipe his hands lol I know if that was my car I’d have a colour matched microfibre onesie 😜
0:50 lizard Larry strikes again!
I have a more traditional less is more preference but do appreciate the level of detail and passion built into this project.
Off the charts!!
Great build, great car
Very cool dude!! I too love that color I think it is available on the Lexus 500C.....
One Heck of a Cool Ride.
A lot of the "little touch"-es that you like about the Spyder are actually in keeping with the factory original features of a real 550, e.g., the leather straps (but only on the rear deck), the inside door upholstery, and the outside rear view mirror housings. There's more.
that thing is AMAZING
Very clean👍
thats a purdy and fancy roach, yes sir indeed (smells pinky and proceeds to twirl mustache's end)
center seated cars make allot of sense
Win hearts with that yellow cleaning cloth.
This is a magnificent car. 🙏🙏
Unreal 😎
This guys wrk is so inspiring
One word Master!
Wow man. Just wow.
That’s classy AF
The video was taken right before the engine was tuned. It is running perfect now and no smoke. Also, he misspoke on the magnesium, it’s actually titanium stacks
John Anthony , yeah! The smoke and unsync’d carbs really took away from the refinement the rest of the car shows. The sound and the smoke took me right back to my 73 914 2.0 with Weber 44’s. I think if he kept the carb look but run injection. That would make this car complete.
Any chance on getting contact info for the group that built his wheels in Canada? He said something like "Augman" but I cannot find anything.

@@johnanthony114 Thank you!
You deserve the "deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft"! Greetings from Germany! Home of Porsche!
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Just had a vision of a three-seater 550, and my mind exploded and I think I might rob a bank to have the money to build that :D
Idk which is better the sl they featured before, either way this is one of the hottest cars yet that you guys have featured
Not supposed to plate or paint and engine or transmissions. Doing so will keep it from cooling normally. The plate, or the paint ack as a blanket, keeping the engine from dissipating heat. Since the 60's to the 90's Chevrolet used to paint their engines orang, to hide the flaw of welds, from when piston punched out from the side. To hide weld and the grind Mark's, the engine expanded when and the welds would bust again. Had a neighbor who had a 1987 Camaro and every year he replaced the engine. 1 time he got the same blue 1 twice. The orange was like 6 times. In 6 year period, before he junked it
This dude is the definition of badass!
Every single one ofJohns projects that leave the shop, are fine works of automotive craftsmanship. 11/10 on creativity and execution.
Hoonigan AutoFocus his talent is crazy! And thanks to Larry for giving these incredible projects the attention they deserve!
He's a wizard!!!!!
The Gullwing used to be my favourite AutoFocus feature car, but this Speedster has totally surpassed it 😍 The attention to detail is ridiculous.
Spyder
Awesome gorgeous car
