Extremely Fun to Drive
The first thing you note about the 911 Speedster is that awesome 3. 2 liter Carrera engine that sounds great in the open air with air rushing by your head.
Air is something you better get used to with the Speedster too, because raking the screen back an extra five degrees causes a lot wind buffeting at speed.
The Speedsters were equipped with the H-program’s 3. 2-liter air-cooled flat six engine.
It gave the Speedster 231 horsepower and 195 lb/ ft. of torque.
Power was fed through a five-speed Getrag G50 transaxle, and there were power-assisted, ventilated, and cross-drilled disc brakes with alloy calipers at all four corners.
The last of the Porsche 356 Speedsters was the 1959 model year and it would take three decades before the name returned again on the 1989
The Speedster was listed for roughly $65, 000 when new. Porsche was surprised by the sales demand for the 1989 Speedster, it was an instant hit.
Despite the sales demand for the 1989 Speedsters, only 2, 104 were ultimately sold.
171 of them had the narrow bodies while the rest were had the Turbo-look widebody configurations.
