In 1989, Porsche expanded its convertible lineup with the introduction of the Speedster. Powered by the proven 3.2-liter powerplant, this one-year-only model arrived just before the introduction of the Type 964 body style, making it the final iteration of the iconic G-body design. Chief stylist Tony Lapine's interpretation incorporated distinct visual elements from the 356 Speedster of the 1950s, most notably the lowered, steeply raked windshield that gave the original Speedster such a sporting look. The optional "Turbo Look" package, introduced in 1984, proved particularly popular with Speedster buyers, adding flared wheel arches and an enlarged rear wing. Production of the Speedster was limited to 1989, with a total of 2,065 units manufactured, securing its position as one of the most collectible 911 variants.

One of just approximately 825 examples made for the U.S. market, this Speedster is attractively finished in Grand Prix White with a dark blue convertible top and trimmed with a Marine Blue partial leather interior, further complemented by 16-inch Fuchs wheels featuring Grand Prix White centers. It was appointed at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen with optional electrically-height-adjustable sports seats left and right, air conditioning, a shorter gear shift lever, alarm system, a Blaupunkt Charleston SQR 26 radio, a luggage compartment in place of the rear seats, and Goodyear tires. The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report places the Speedster in California in the early 1990s, accumulating 38,811 miles by August 1993. Subsequent entries show that the Porsche spent time in Florida and later returned to California for service at Porsche Woodland Hills before being relocated to Nevada in 2018. Service invoices and work logs indicate that the Speedster has been consistently cared for in recent years, including new front and rear brake discs and pads (July 2024), replacing the fuel tank (August 2024), a full dry ice cleaning of the undercarriage (January 2025), and refinishing the wheels (February 2025).

This Speedster is now offered with 45,087 miles and includes its Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it retains its original, matching-numbers 3.2-liter air-cooled flat six and G50 five-speed manual transmission. With Porsche continuing to pay homage to the Speedster with the 991 generation, it is clear that the Porsche Speedster is an evergreen, perennial classic that will continue to attract collectors' attention due to both its good looks and limited production numbers. This well-appointed, original example represents a fantastic opportunity to own one of the most desirable G-body Porsche models ever built.
