Maverick Marktpreis: 911 Speedster<br />
by Peter Wen<br />
Last year during its 70th year celebration, Porsche<br />
unveiled a 911 Speedster concept car. It was based on the<br />
outgoing 991-generation 911. With the overwhelming<br />
positive response, Porsche later announced they will begin<br />
production of the new Speedster in <strong>2019</strong>. It will be the<br />
fourth 911 Speedster, following the 1989 G-series, the<br />
1994 964, and the 2011 997 Speedsters.<br />
The original Porsche Speedster was produced 1954-<br />
1958 based on the legendary 356. Porsche resurrected the<br />
Speedster nameplate in 1989 to close out the G-series<br />
911 (1974-1989). It generated much needed brand<br />
excitement and sales boost for the new 964. They<br />
repeated this successful formula through<br />
today. All 911 Speedsters are end-of-gen specials<br />
with limited production numbers. With their unique<br />
styling (lower windshields and twin-hump tonneau<br />
covers) and top performance parts, 911 Speedsters<br />
are true collectibles from Day 1.<br />

Fun fact: In 1955 James Dean traded<br />
in his MG for a Super Speedster. He<br />
put 1,000 miles on the car within 10<br />
days of the purchase. He entered and<br />
won his first road race at Palm<br />
Springs on <strong>March</strong> 26 and 27, 1955.<br />
