Sometimes less is more. As Porsche's original 356 Speedster, built between 1954 and 1957, was a less-expensive model and more a pure driver's car, so was the 1989 version. Built for USA only in Turbo body style which is one of the prettiest open top cars ever made by Porsche. In this club competition style body they were a appropriate addition with the wide racing tires and the short wraparound removable windscreen. Of course only the single layer light emergency folding top was offered.

The new Speedster had a long and difficult gestation, which began in 1983 with a stillborn prototype developed by Porsche's senior engineer, Helmuth Bott. The idea was revived by Porsche President Peter W. Schutz in 1986, who contributed to the design of a second concept Speedster on a 911SC platform. As an American, Schutz understood the potential appeal of such a car for the American club racing market, and in 1987, Porsche debuted a pre-production version at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Just as with the 356 Speedster, the 911 Speedster rapidly became collectible with only 830 ever offered in the USA. Only a handful now trade hands in a given year, and many of those are either modified or so low in mileage they can't be enjoyed. Ideally, one's new Speedster would have been carefully used, gently broken in, and well appointed, which is what one finds in this scintillating example. Rare optional air conditioning and a Blaupunkt stereo allow for gran turismo style touring. Of course all books, tools, spare, jack, etc. accompany sale of this car

217 bhp, 3,164 cc all-aluminum air-cooled SOHC flat six, DME Motronic 2 electronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transaxle, independent front suspension with McPherson struts, lower A-arms, torsion bars, and anti-roll bar, independent rear suspension with semi-trailing arms, transverse torsion bars and anti-roll bar, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with four-piston aluminum calipers. Wheelbase: 89.5 in.

The spirited, spiritual successor to the 356 Speedster
Optioned for the enthusiast, in extremely desirable and rare colors of white exterior and matching Fuchs wheels and gorgeous red leather interior
Low mileage and no modifications other than a period style amplifier which is easily removed.

Condition of this car is now ready for any Concours showing throughout the world.

Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.

Porsche 911 GTS Targa spied at the 'Ring | Autoblog Minute

Mon, May 16 2016

Spy shots of a lightly camouflaged 911 GTS Targa at the Nurburgring have us musing about what we might get from this upcoming Porsche. Eddie Sabatini reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Spy shots of a lightly camouflaged 911 GTS Targa have us musing about what we might get from this upcoming Porsche. The photos were grabbed at the Nurburgring and show a different exhaust system than is on the current car. Like the updated 991 Carrera and Carrera S, this GTS will get a 3-liter turbocharged engine in place of the current 3.8-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder. And we expect it will make more than the 430 horsepower of the pre-facelift GTS engine. The shots also show off center-locking wheels, [00:00:30] which are likely to make production, and a blacked-out Targa roof bar. We'll have to wait and see if the dark roof bar is camo or an actual production option. The GTS should again be available with two or four-wheel drive and in coupe, convertible, and Targa body styles. For Autoblog I'm Eddie Sabatini.

Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

Porsche Boxster spied in the buff

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Porsche is preparing a significant update to its entry level Boxster convertible, and while visually this might appear to be a simple refresh, the changes are more than skin deep. Following a number of rumors, Porsche will finally make the jump to turbocharged engines on a broad scale, and it starts with this new Boxster. According to our spies, it's the larger side intakes featured on this prototype that give away its smaller, force-induced flat-four engine. The dual exhaust pipes, meanwhile, say Boxster S to us, rather than just the basic model. Beyond the mechanical changes, this marks the first time we've seen the new Boxster completely free of camouflage. We can see that Porsche's stylists – famous for revolutionary designs slowly tweaking the same style for decads on end Â– adjusted the look of the front and rear fascias. We like the more aggressively canted headlights, which get the same four-pointed LEDs as its big brother, the 911. The slimmer taillights are a minor improvement on the inoffensive lamps fitted to the current car, and serve to take some attention off the all-plastic exhaust surround, which is much more simply styled than the current car's. It should also be noted that the aesthetics featured on the new Boxster are very, very likely to be transferred directly onto the new Cayman. You can check out our full gallery of shots of the all-new, totally undisguised Boxster in the gallery up top. Expect to see the new roadster around this time next year, with a debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show likely. Related Video:
