To mark its 70th anniversary in 2018, Porsche introduced the 991-generation 911 Speedster, producing just 1,948 units as a tribute to Dr. Porsche’s first two-seat roadster. Inspired by past Speedster models, including the 356, 964, and 997, this version blends stunning design with high performance.
Essentially an open-top 911 GT3, it features a cabriolet body reinforced with carbon-fiber elements, including the front trunk lid, fenders, doors, and engine cover. A shorter windshield and glass enhance its sleek appearance, while the fabric top can be folded under the distinctive double-humped tonneau.
The Speedster comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission paired with a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, delivering 502 horsepower. Porsche’s GT division enhanced the engine with high-pressure fuel injectors and individual throttle valves for improved performance.

It featured GT Silver Metallic paint with white accents extending to the A-pillars, mimicking classic 356 Speedsters seen in SCCA racing. Buyers could also add a custom two-digit race number to the white roundel decals, completing the retro-inspired look.
Now available on Bring A Trailer, this particular Speedster is number 1,528 of the 1,948 produced. It features the Heritage Design package, making it one of the most desirable configurations.
