To get an idea of what the 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster means for its maket, I'll remind you the company decided to introduce the roofless GT3 that is this special with two launch specs - the red car we met in New York paraded the spec for that part of the world, while the Heritage Design Package showcased the introduction configuration for Europe.
Well, an example of the rear-engined masterpiece has now been spotted at the factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Interestingly, while the Neunelfer does sport the Silver-and-White spec of the Heritage Design Pack, it does lack the "Porsche" scrip on the side, as well as the racing numbers on the doors.
Speaking of this Euro configuration, you can zoom in on the black brake calipers in the gallery above (lens tip to Exclusive Porsche Models for these pics) - keep in mind this is also an option on the 992 Porsche 911.
Now, I need to explain that "roofless GT3" mentioned I made in the intro, since the Speedster is so much more.
First of all, the atmospheric 4.0-liter flat-six of the GT3 has been gifted with individual throttle bodies. These not only improve throttle response and mid-range grunt, but also help reduce emissions (for instance, the improved tumble comes in handy for cold starts, a critical phase as far as the smokey bits are concerned).
Other massaged bits of the N/A boxer include the higher pressure of the fuel injection, along with a new exhaust - having welcomed a particulate filter, the muffler setup no longer requires three units and can make do with just one.
Compared to the GT3, the Speedster packs carbon fiber bits such as the front fenders, the frunk lid and the rear deck.
So if you're ready to pay almost twice the price of the GT3 and can get your hands on one of the just 1,948 examples of the 911 Speedster, you'll have quite a story to tell from behind the wheel.
