PARIS 2010: Porsche 911 Speedster video

PARIS 2010: Built to commemorate the iconic 356 Speedster, Porsche introduce the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motorshow.

Delving into the past once again, Porsche pulled the covers off the latest addition to the 911 range, the Speedster. Sporting the recognisable 'double bubble' tonneau cover, the Speedster incorporates a lightweight canvas with no power assistance, a 44mm wider rear track and traditional Fuchs alloy wheels.

The engine bay contains an uprated version of the standard 3.8-litre flat six, producing 402bhp, a powerplant it shares with the new 911 Carrera GTS coupe. The Speedster is capable of 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 189mph.

Fitted as standard are the ceramic composite brakes and PDK double-clutch gearbox complete with steering wheel paddles. Fuel economy is stated as 27.4mpg - exactly the same as the less potent Carrera S. In order to achieve the retro look Porsche has added a sharply raked and shortened windscreen plus black stone guards on the rear arches, features Porsche fans will instantly recognise.

Priced at £144,000 the 911 Speedster is the second most expensive 911 behind the GT2 RS.
