EXTERIOR
Finished in classic Guards Red, the wide-bodied silhouette of this Speedster looks sensational. The shortened windscreen, low hood line and distinctive twin-hump rear cover transform the familiar G-Series shape while the Turbo-style front and rear arches give the car real presence without the need for a fixed rear wing.
Presentation is first class throughout with the Guards Red paintwork retaining a rich, deep shine and an even finish across every panel. Panel fit is excellent while black trims, lights, lenses and rubber seals have all been carefully preserved. With the hood lowered beneath its sculpted cover, few air-cooled Porsches offer such a clean and instantly recognisable profile.
INTERIOR
Stepping inside reveals a wonderfully period Porsche interior, finished in Linen leather that perfectly complements the Guards Red exterior. Matching carpets and lower trim enhance the bright, open feel of the cabin, contrasted by a black upper dashboard that remains beautifully preserved and houses the familiar five-dial VDO instruments.
Factory Sports Seats offer excellent support and remain exceptionally well preserved, their slim backrests and pronounced bolsters perfectly complementing the Speedster’s driver-focused character. The desirable G50 five-speed manual gear lever sits within easy reach, while the classic three-spoke leather steering wheel and upright driving position provide the unmistakable feel that has become synonymous with the G-Series 911.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Power comes from Porsche’s proven air-cooled 3.2-litre flat-six, producing 231bhp in European specification and driving the rear wheels through the desirable five-speed G50 manual gearbox. Performance is strong, accompanied by the unmistakable response and soundtrack of a naturally aspirated air-cooled 911.
Free from the added weight and complexity of a turbocharged drivetrain, the Speedster delivers its power progressively and feels perfectly suited to open-air driving. Gear changes are precise and reassuring, making this final evolution of the Carrera 3.2 both engaging and remarkably usable.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Classic 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels sit perfectly beneath the widened Turbo-look arches, their polished outer rims and contrasting black centres completing the Speedster’s unmistakable period appearance.
Ventilated disc brakes are fitted at each corner, providing strong and consistent stopping performance. The wide wheel and tyre setup gives the car a confident stance while retaining the steering feel and mechanical character expected from an air-cooled 911.
