Rare Beauty
Three outstanding features of the new Porsche 911 Speedster, which is limited to 1,948 units worldwide
1. ICONIC SILHOUETTE
While most Porsche cars are head-turners, the new Porsche 911 Speedster instantly catches the eye with the aerodynamic streamliners on its convertible top compartment lid. This unique design touch adds to the sportiness of the ride and further optimises the aerodynamics of the car. Technically, it is a challenge to manufacture—the largest and most complex component used on a road model is actually crafted out of one single piece of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic.
2. NOD TO THE PAST
Porsche is offering an optional Heritage Design package, which incorporates reinterpreted classic details from the 1950s and ’60s into the new 911 Speedster. The package includes elements such as an interior colour scheme in black and cognac; “spears” paintwork in white for the front fascia; and “Lollipop” motor sport decals for the doors and front lid.
3. POWER FROM WITHIN
At the heart of the new 911 Speedster is the naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine with four-litre displacement that can hit a peak power of 510 PS (Pferdestrke) achieved at 8,400 rpm. (The maximum engine speed is 9,000 rpm.) The car completes the century sprint in merely four seconds and hits a top speed of 310 km/h. Equipped with high-pressure fuel injectors with optimised spray pattern as well as a modified intake system with individual throttle valves, the engine’s performance is further enhanced from the ones used in previous 911 GT3 cars. The 911 Speedster only comes with a manual six‑speed sports transmission, which elevates the driving experience.
