Compared to its siblings, the 911 Speedster rides 60 mm closer to the road and is 44 mm wider at the rear. The 911 Speedster has special front and rear aprons and new side skirts. It windscreen has a more raked appearance, the soft top has a double-bubble hardcover, and the sporty-look manual hood has a flat contour. The 911 Speedster is driven by the same engine as the Porsche 911 GTS. Producing 408 hp (23 more than the Carrera S), the 3.8-liter flat six is fitted at the car’s rear.
