1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

  • Chassis Number: WP0EB0910KS173116
A modern variation of the Avant-grade 356 Speedster of the 1950s was conceived in the mid-1980s by Peter Schutz and based on the 911 Cabriolet. Porsche's technical director, Helmuth Bott, refined the concept by adding a hard removable rear tonneau giving it a similar profile to the original 356 Speedster. The Speedster wore a cut-down windscreen, deleted vent windows, a low-profile manual top, wind-up side windows, and deleted rear seats accommodating the 'double-hump' fiberglass top cover. Between August 1988 to July 1989, Porsche built 2,065 Speedsters including 823 for the United States. 1,894 of those wore the 'Turbo Look' based on the 930 Turo body shell and only sold to Germany and America. Additional features included heavy-duty 4-piston disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and 7-inch front and 9-inch rear wheels.

The Speedster's base price was $65,480 and the 'Turbo Look' option added $13,045.

This particular 'Turbo Look' 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster has 3,000 miles on the odometer. Its 3.2-liter air-cooled flat 6-cylinder engine is factory-rated at 217 horsepower with Bosch Motronic fuel injection and backed by a five-speed manual transmission. There is a front and rear independent suspension with torsion bars, 4-wheel disc brakes with vented rotors, a limited-slip differential and a short-throw gear shift lever.
