History & Specification
At just 2,690 lbs. the 911 Speedster was 154 lbs lighter than its
sister, the 911 Cabriolet. The total build worldwide was limited to
only 2,056 examples, which makes the 1989 Speedster more than twice
as exclusive as the original that inspired it. The late 80's
Speedster was also significant in Porsche history as they are
amongst the final products of the original 911 factory in Stuggart,
Germany.
The production 1989 Speedster wore a unique aluminum framed
windshield that was more than 3 inches lower and raked 5 degrees
flatter than that of the standard Cabriolet. Special Speedster
equipment.
Some cars are considered collectibles from day one. The
limited-production 911 Speedster is one of these cars. It not only
celebrated the end of the first generation of air-cooled 911
production, which dated back to 1963, but it evoked the legendary
1954-1959 356 Speedster in name and image. Be one of the few that
has this classic in their garage!
