Not keen to let a week go by without the unveiling of some new model variant, Porsche has come up with yet another new special edition - the 911 Speedster.
Unlike last week's new Porsche - the 911 GTS - the Speedster is a strictly limited-edition affair, built to commemorate the 'original' Porsche 356 Speedster. As a result - and you can probably see what's coming here - Porsche will build just 356 examples of the new Speedster as a nod to its 1950s forebear.
The Speedster uses the same 402bhp version of the 911's 3.8-litre flat six as in the new 911 GTS, giving it 22bhp (gasp) more than a standard Carrera S, although fuel consumption is unchanged at 27.4mpg combined (actually, we're secretly quite impressed by that).
That power goes through the near-unpronounceable 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) gearbox as standard, while a limited-slip differential, carbon-ceramic brakes and the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system are also standard fit.
Good thing there's all that kit, too, because Porsche is asking a pretty steep price for the Speedster. At £144,100 it's almost £64,000 (or an entire 911 Carrera 3.6) dearer than a standard Carrera S cab. Crikey.
The most significant differences between the Speedster and regular 911s, however, are visual. That distinctive 'double bubble' hood cover first seen on the 1989 Speedster special edition is back, and the wide body from the Carrera 4 gives the Speedster an aggressively low and wide stance. The windscreen is also 60mm lower and more steeply raked.
The Speedster also gets a unique blue paintjob, and bespoke interior highlights that match the 'Pure Blue' exterior paintwork.
The 911 Speedster will be built by Porsche Exclusive, the arm of Porsche that's responsible for limited edition offerings such as the recent 911 Sport Classic, and that celebrates its 25th birthday this year.
The 911 Speedster will make its in-the-metal debut at the Paris motor show in a couple of weeks time, and will be on sale in the UK by January 2011.
