Porsche officially unveiled the 991-generation Speedster at the April 2019 New York International Auto Show, marking the 70th anniversary of the marque’s first production car. With production limited to just 1,948 examples worldwide, the new Speedster was both a tribute to the original 356 Speedster and a swan song for the outgoing 991 series.

Although visually distinctive with its shortened, steeply raked windscreen and signature double-hump rear deck lid, the Speedster was underpinned by proven GT3 hardware. Power came from a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter, flat-six engine derived from the 991.2 GT3, developing 502 hp at 8,400 rpm. The engine was paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, eschewing Porsche’s dual-clutch PDK gearbox in favor of a more involving analog driving experience. Performance was impressive, with Porsche claiming 0–60 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 192 mph, remarkable figures for a car that prioritized driver connection over outright efficiency. Chassis components, including rear-wheel steering, dynamic engine mounts, and carbon ceramic brakes, were also sourced from the GT3. Carbon fiber front fenders, hood, and rear deck lid, along with a manually operated fabric roof, contributed to a curb weight of 3,230 pounds, just 36 pounds more than the GT3.

This 2019 Porsche 991 Speedster is finished in paint-to-sample, non-metallic Brewster Green over a special wishes, custom-tailored extended black leather interior with tartan cloth inserts and deviated silver stitching. As the 1,237th of 1,948 units built per its serialized plaque, this car was delivered new via Porsche North Houston in Texas, in January 2020.

According to its accompanying window sticker, which displays a total price of $326,180, this car was generously optioned with additional features and customizations including a front-axle lift system, extended-range 23.7-gallon fuel tank, Satin Aluminum-finished wheels, light design package, Bose surround sound system, leather-wrapped air vent surrounds and slats, leather door panel trim, auto-dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, Chrono package, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), and silver-gray seat belts.

Acquired by the consignor in 2021, this Speedster appears virtually as new, showing just 656 miles when catalogued and maintained within the owner’s collection. Accompanied by its original window sticker, manuals, service records, car cover, and CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this exceptionally preserved 991 Speedster offers a rare mix of motor sports pedigree, bespoke options, and limited-production appeal. With GT3 performance and a striking paint-to-sample finish, it stands as a tribute to Porsche’s heritage and a highlight of the modern era.
