Porsche 997.2 Speedster

The vehicle in detail

Technically, this is far more than a regular 911 Cabriolet. The 3.8 litre naturally aspirated flat six produces 408 hp, which is 23 hp more than the standard 911 Carrera, and is paired with the fast 7 speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, better known as PDK. In addition, the Speedster was equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake, once again underlining that Porsche did not build this model merely as a styling exercise, but as a fully developed and technically advanced 911.

The car was delivered new in Italy by Autocentri Balduina S.r.l., Centro Porsche Roma Nord, where it was also maintained. It later travelled to the Netherlands, where it continued to be looked after by Porsche Centrum Gelderland. The documentation file is strong and includes, among others, the original stamped service book, instruction manuals, the Porsche Communication Management booklet, Porsche Assistance documentation, RDW documents, inspection reports, the Porsche 111 point check and the alarm system certificate.

This is an extremely correct, well cared for and particularly interesting example from a very limited Porsche series. Thanks to its low mileage, European history, Carrara White specification, PDK transmission, PCCB braking system and strong documentation, this is a reference example for the collector looking for a modern Porsche with genuine historical significance.
