The 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster Concept: open-top, pure and with over 500 hp
Stuttgart. Porsche will be giving itself an excellent present for the 70th anniversary of its sports cars: the Porsche 911 Speedster It forges a link between the very first Porsche 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster 1948. Porsche 911 Speedster reflects the brand essence developed at the Porsche Motorsport Center, birth place of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the new Porsche GT3 RS. The Porsche 911 Speedster world premiere at the official ‘70 years Porsche sportscar’ anniversary celebrations in Zuffenhausen. A decision on whether to move ahead will be made in the coming months.

The characteristics of the new Porsche 911 Speedster Concept include the shorter window frame with a more inclined windscreen and correspondingly shortened side windows. These features give the new Porsche 911 Speedster study an even stockier profile with a very low fly line, which is reminiscent of its predecessors such as the Porsche 356 1500 Speedster. A special rear cover made of carbon fiber connects behind the front seats, covering a roll-over protection structure and featuring a new Porsche 911 Speedster ‘double bubble’, a traditional element of this sports car design since the 911 Speedster from 1988. Two contrasting black slats between the ‘humps’ add an aerodynamic touch, and a transparent Plexiglas wind deflector features an engraved ‘70 years of Porsche’ logo.

As dictated by the historic original, the new Porsche 911 Speedster also features a lightweight tonneau cover instead of a convertible top. This cover protects the new Porsche 911 Speedster interior from rain when parked, and is attached using eight Tenax fasteners. The lightweight principles of the Speedster philosophy continue through into the new Porsche 911 Speedster interior, where the navigation, radio and air conditioning systems have all been eliminated. The full bucket seats are made of carbon, and the light brown Aniline leather covers in Cognac 356 pick up on features from the new Porsche 911 Speedster’s classic predecessors.

The broad body of the new Porsche 911 Speedster has been borrowed from the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, although the wings, front bonnet and rear cover of the concept are made of lightweight carbon-fiber composite material. The paintwork in the traditional colors of GT Silver and White harks back to Porsche’s early racing cars like the 50s-style central fuel tank cap positioned in the middle of the front bonnet, the classic Talbot shape of the exterior mirrors or the unique design of the main headlights. Transparent and opaque surfaces on the headlight covers produce a cross-like effect and are nod to a practice prevalent in Porsche’s early years in motorsport. At the time, the original headlights were taped before races to protect them against stone chipping and to prevent the glass from shattering. The wide B-pillars and the rear are decorated with milled, gold-plated Speedster lettering.

Below the bodywork, the new Porsche 911 Speedster relies on state-of-the-art components. The new Porsche 911 Speedster chassis essentially comes from the Porsche 911 GT3, with contrasting high gloss polished clover-leaf details on the imposing 21-inch rims in Fuchs design. It is the first time that these new Porsche 911 Speedster wheels are presented with center locks. The GT developers also contributed the exhaust system with Porsche titanium tailpipes and the new Porsche 911 Speedster power train, which includes a six-speed manual transmission. The six-cylinder flat engine in the new Porsche 911 Speedster delivers over 500 hp and reaches speeds of up to 9,000 rpm.

The history of Porsche Speedster models begins in the USA
Porsche Speedster variants of sports car models, which combine open-top driving pleasure with incredibly distinctive driving dynamics, have been part of the Porsche company history since 1952. The forefather of Porsche Speedster models, the Porsche 356 1500 America Roadster, had an aluminum body manufactured entirely by hand. It weighed 60 kilograms less than the Porsche 356 Coupé and its top speed of 175 km/h with its 70-hp four-cylinder flat engine was an impressive feat at the time. Featuring slot-in windows for the doors, a folding rain-cover top and lightweight bucket seats, this car developed exclusively for the US market
By 2010, eight different series and special models had been created with the ‘Speedster’ byname. The Porsche 356 A 1500 GS Carrera GT Speedster represented a highlight in 1957, and the first Porsche 911 Speedster followed in 1988. The 356 units of the Porsche 911 Speedster produced for the Porsche 997 series in 2010 saw a temporary end to the production of Porsche Speedster variants.
