Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0CF2A96KS172223
The 991-generation 911 Speedster was first shown in concept form at
the 2018 Paris Motor Show as a fitting tribute to the marque's 70th
anniversary. In the same spirit as the G-Series Speedsters of 1989,
964 Speedsters, and 997 Speedsters, the new model wore distinctive
356-style rear bodywork, embodying the essence of open-top driving
pleasure and exceptional performance that has defined the Speedster
since 1954. The heart of the new Speedster was borrowed from the
contemporary 911 GT3: the magnificent 4.0-liter DOHC flat
six-cylinder engine encased in lightweight alloy, delivering over
500 horsepower and boasting a 9,000-rpm redline. True to its purist
nature, a six-speed manual transmission came as standard
equipment.
The New York International Auto Show saw the unveiling of the
optional Heritage Design Package crafted by Porsche Exclusive
Manufaktur. This bespoke offering married classic styling elements
with modern craftsmanship, available exclusively with GT Silver
Metallic paint. Nostalgic white accents adorned the front bumper
and fender "arrows," while "gumball" style graphics graced the
front luggage compartment lid and doors, evoking memories of
individually decorated Porsche 356 models from a bygone racing era.
The historical "Porsche" decal along the flanks and the classic
Porsche crest on the front luggage compartment lid completed the
exterior's timeless appeal.
Inside, the Heritage Design Package showcased a sophisticated
two-tone leather interior in Black and Cognac. Full Bucket Seats,
upholstered in Cognac leather, featured an embossed historic
Porsche crest on the headrests. GT Silver Metallic accents on the
seat backs and interior trim pieces harmonized with the exterior,
while gold "Speedster" designations and a limited-edition plaque
added exclusive touches to this extraordinary model.
Only 1,948 examples of the 991-generation Speedster were produced,
commemorating the birth year of the 356. Of these, an even more
select few were bestowed with the coveted Heritage Design Package
(XWW), like the Speedster presented here. This outstanding example
was also ordered with tinted LED headlights in black Including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus). Notably, while
Speedsters were not equipped with standard air conditioning as a
weight-saving measure, this example desirably benefits from the
no-cost air conditioning option, enhancing its usability without
compromising its performance. Its accompanying CARFAX Vehicle
History Report indicates that the car was initially registered in
Ontario, Canada, while receiving regular maintenance courtesy of
Porsche of Naples, Florida. Acquired by the consignor in early
2024, the car shows just 3,585 miles from new at the time of
cataloging, and now rides on Gunther Werks GW9 Fuchs 20/21 inch
wheels paying homage to the iconic Fuchs design and further
enhancing the Speedster's classic appearance. For those who prefer
the original look, the factory wheels are included with the
sale.
Combining open-air thrills with Porsche's iconic 4.0-liter,
naturally aspirated flat-six engine and a precision six-speed
manual transmission, the 991-generation Speedster is deservedly one
of the most highly sought-after limited-edition 911 variants in
recent years. The addition of the Heritage Design Package elevates
this particular Speedster to new heights of desirability.
Seamlessly blending classic-inspired styling elements with
contemporary craftsmanship, this Speedster represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a modern classic that is both a thrilling
driver's car and a faithful tribute to Porsche's rich sporting
heritage.
