With its eye-catching double-humped fiberglass tonneau cover and lowered windshield, the Porsche 911 Speedster produced only in the one-1989 is instantly recognizable among many automotive enthusiasts. Designed to honor the 1954 356 Speedster, it initially appeared as it prototype in the mid-1980s before the production version came out for the 1989 model year which also happened to be the 25th anniversary of the 911.
All Speedsters was equipped with a 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired to a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. The engine was factory rated to produce 215 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new.
Upon introduction, the Speedster quickly became appealing to many Porsche lovers because of its heritage and performance. However, it’s single-year production run made it incredibly hard to acquire. Just 2,104 were built.
