Porsche 991 Speedster

The vehicle in detail

The 991.2 Speedster is instantly recognizable by its unique bodywork, which is based on the 911 GT3 of its generation, but with striking adjustments such as the double humps behind the front seats and a low-profile windshield and side windows. These design elements give the Speedster a distinctive look. The car does not have a traditional convertible top, but a lightweight fabric roof that must be operated partly by hand, which contributes to the pure driving experience.

Under the bonnet of the 991.2 Speedster is a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine derived from the 911 GT3. This engine produces an impressive 500 hp and 470 Nm of torque, enabling the Speedster to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, maximising driver involvement and providing a direct connection to the rich heritage of Porsche’s sports cars.

The driving experience in the 991.2 Speedster is unparalleled. With a lightweight construction, rear-wheel drive and an advanced suspension system (including a lift system on the front axle), the car offers a precise and responsive driving experience. The mechanical limited slip differential and adaptive damping system combined with rear-axle steering ensure that the Speedster excels on both the race track and winding country roads. The steering is sharp and communicative, giving the driver a feeling of total control.

The Porsche 991.2 Speedster was strictly limited in production, with only 1,948 units built. This number pays tribute to the introduction of the very first Porsche, the 356 ‘Number 1’ Roadster, in 1948. This limited production makes the Speedster a highly sought-after collector’s item among car enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

The Porsche 991.2 Speedster is not only a technical masterpiece, but also an emotional tribute to the long history of Porsche’s sports cars. With its iconic design, impressive performance and limited production, the Speedster is a true jewel in the crown of Porsche’s model range. It is a car that embodies the essence of pure driving pleasure and leaves a lasting impression on anyone who is lucky enough to drive it.
