The Speedster shares styling cues with the 991 GT3 including a similar front splitter and bumper covers, while features unique to the Speedster consist of a shorter windshield, a manually retractable black soft top, and a body-color carbon-fiber twin-hump convertible-top cover panel. This example is finished in a custom-ordered Albert Blue and is equipped with xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System as well as a speed-activated rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlets. Paintless dent removal was performed in May 2022 and the seller states the front end is covered in paint protection film.
Satin Aluminum-finished 20″ GT3 center-lock alloy wheels wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel cross-drilled Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with Porsche-branded calipers that have been repainted in their current shade of blue. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and rear-axle steering were standard on the Speedster. The rear tires were replaced in April 2022.
The two-place cockpit features carbon-fiber bucket seats upholstered in black leather with contrasting red stitching, both of which extends to the dashboard and door panels. Blue patterned cloth inserts were added under prior ownership. Carbon-fiber trim accents the shift knob, center console, dash, doors, and illuminated sill guards. Additional appointments include Porsche Communication Management with navigation, a Bose Surround Sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, aluminum pedals, red nylon door pulls, and Guards Red seatbelts.
A serialized plaque located between the seats denotes this example as #1,671 of the 1,948 Speedsters produced.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 9k-rpm redline along with a 225-mph speedometer and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 6k miles, a handful of which were added by the selling dealer.
The naturally aspirated, GT3-sourced 4.0L flat-six features VarioCam Plus valve timing and was updated for the Speedster with revised individual throttle bodies and high-pressure fuel injectors. An extended-range 23.7-gallon fuel tank was factory optioned. Factory rated power output was 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. The DME was reprogrammed in April 2022, and a replacement battery was fitted in January 2023. A DME report can been seen in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
