Porsche creates incredible 911 Speedster Concept to honour 70 years of sports cars
The Porsche 911 Speedster Concept is a nod to classic roadsters of the past. We look at the key facts you need to know about it
Porsche is celebrating 70 years of its sports cars this year, and to honour that landmark achievement it has created this – the 911 Speedster. Let’s take a look at the key aspects of this striking new car.
History
Design
There’s no convertible top, rather just a lightweight tonneau top that can protect the car from the rain when it’s parked up. It also gets a 50s-style central fuel tank cap positioned in the centre of the car’s bonnet. The headlights have intricate x-designs overlaid on top of them, in a nod to the process of taping up original race car headlamps so as to avoid them shattering.

The exhaust system has also been heavily developed, with engineers adding titanium tailpipes for a sporty engine note.

There are chances that the Speedster will enter production, though Porsche isn’t confirming this yet.
