Limited to 1,948 Units Worldwide
The 991.2 Speedster was produced in a run of just 1,948 units, paying tribute to the year Porsche was founded (1948), making it a highly collectible modern classi
Naturally Aspirated GT3 Engine
It shares its 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with the 911 GT3, delivering 510 horsepower and revving to a thrilling 9,000 rpm, offering pure, unfiltered performance.
Manual Transmission Only
The Speedster is available exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox, reinforcing its focus on driver engagement and mechanical connection.
GT3 Chassis with Open-Top Fun
Underneath, the Speedster uses the GT3’s chassis and suspension setup, giving it exceptional handling and responsiveness, combined with the joy of open-air motoring.
Special Lightweight Fabric Roof
It comes with a manually operated soft top (with some power assistance) to save weight and preserve the car’s minimalist, purist ethos.
Carbon Fiber Body Panels
To keep weight down, the Speedster features carbon fiber front fenders, hood, and rear clamshell, resulting in a curb weight of just around 1,465 kg.
Unique Double-Bubble Rear Deck
The distinctive double-hump rear cover is a nod to classic Speedsters of the past and gives the car a sculpted, muscular rear profile.
Inspired by the 356 Speedster
The design and philosophy behind the 991.2 Speedster harken back to the Porsche 356 Speedster of the 1950s, combining simplicity, lightness, and driving pleasure.
Performance and Style Package Available
An optional Heritage Design Package was offered, including retro-style paint, gold badging, and houndstooth interior inserts — celebrating Porsche’s early racing history.
A Farewell to the 991 Generation
The 911 Speedster served as the final send-off for the 991.2 platform, combining the best elements of Porsche’s GT cars with limited-edition craftsmanship and timeless appeal.
The Porsche 911 Speedster (991.2) is a rare, open-top homage to Porsche's racing heritage, limited to just 1,948 units (celebrating the brand's founding year). With a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six (502 HP), a manual gearbox, and no roof, it’s the ultimate analog 911, more exclusive than a GT3 Touring and rarer than a Ferrari 488 Pista Spider.

(Note: Even "high-mileage" examples are collector-grade.)
Well-Maintained (1,000–5,000 km): €450,000 – €550,000
(Ideal for: Investors who occasionally drive it.)
Like-New (<1,000 km): €600,000 – €750,000+
(Critical: Must have "delivery miles" and full PPF.)

2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Provenance is Everything
Original owner + Porsche VIP history: +20% premium.
Celebrity-owned? Only if verifiable (e.g., Jerry Seinfeld’s network).
✅ Options That Command Premiums
PTS Paint (e.g., Mexico Blue): +€100,000+.
Carbon Fiber Bucket Seats: +€30,000.
"Speedster" Logo Delete (Ultra-Stealth): +€15,000.
✅ Mileage Sensitivity
Every 1,000 km reduces value by €10k–20k.
Over 10,000 km? Still €300k+, but purists will scoff.
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Fake Heritage Editions (verify VIN with Porsche Exclusive).
Track use (even though it has a GT3 engine, it hurts resale).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels
Porsche Classic Certified (Rare, but check Germany).
Ultra-Elite Dealers: FVD Brombacher (DE), Hexagon Classics (UK).
Private Sales & Auctions
RM Sotheby’s, Bonhams (last public sale: €620k in 2023).
Secret Porsche Collector Groups (where real deals happen).
Pro Tip: Avoid U.S. imports—Euro-spec cars have higher resale value.
4. Market Trends
📈 Appreciation/Depreciation
+10–15% annually since 2021 (last NA manual Speedster).
Heritage Editions doubling in value by 2030.
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Never driven" cars with stale fluids (engine seals degrade).
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical (If You Dare Drive It)
Test clutch take-up (heavy, like a race car).
Check for 4.0L bore scoring (rare but catastrophic).
Inspect fuel tank seals (Speedsters hate sitting).
📄 Paperwork:
Porsche "Certificate of Authenticity" (matches VIN).
No resale restrictions (some early buyers had contracts).
Fun Fact: The Speedster’s fuel cap is magnesium, to save 300 grams.
Who Owns This?
GT3 RS collectors (who wanted something "more special").
Porsche historians (who know the 356 Speedster legacy).
People who think €1M is reasonable for a car with no roof.
