Looking to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2018, Porsche
introduced the 991-generation 911 Speedster. Only 1,948 examples
would be built, celebrating the hear that Dr. Porsche built his
first two-seat roadster in Austria. Following in the footsteps of
the 356 Speedster, G-Series Speedsters of 1989, 964 Speedsters and
most recently the 997-generation Speedsters, the 991-generation
Speedster matches its visual panache with exceptional
performance.
Essentially a 911 GT3 with its roof cut off, the Speedster is based
on a cabriolet body shell and features extensive use of
carbon-fiber for the front trunk lid, front fenders, doors, engine
cover, and interior trim. As with previous versions, the windshield
and glass were shortened to lend a sleeker appearance. The
removable fabric top can be folded beneath the double-humped
tonneau when not in use, but its hard to imagine wanting to use the
Speedster without the roof down.
The new Speedster uses the 991.2's 4.0-litre DOHC flat six-cylinder
engine with an alloy case. Four-valve cylinder heads and direct
fuel injection deliver 502 bhp with 346 foot-pounds of torque. The
Speedster is capable of a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds with a
maximum of 310 km/h. A six-speed manual transmission with
rev-matching capability is standard, as are carbon-ceramic disc
brakes with their huge yellow calipers which provide amazing
stopping power.
Finished in Racing Yellow over a Black leather interior, this
Speedster is presented today in virtually as-new condition. Having
only accrued delivery mileage, its odometer is currently showing
just under 100 km from new. Exceptionally well outfitted, the car's
colour scheme carries through to the interior, as it is fitted with
Racing Yellow seat belts, centre-console and dashboard trim painted
to match, and black door pulls. Additional options include the
90-litre fuel tank, front-axle lift system, 20-inch Speedster
wheels, leather-trimmed bucket seats, PCM with the Sport Chrono
package, a rear-view camera, and fire extinguisher. Black "Porsche"
side-script has been added celebrating 911s of the 1960's.
Combining classic looks with cutting edge performance, the
991-generation Speedster is the fastest and most exciting drop-top
911 ever built. This Racing Yellow example is virtually as-new
throughout and ready to be used and enjoyed as intended.
