Very true. Not even if they were blind.

Perhaps the only 'cabrio' that looks better with the roof up?



That looks great!

+1 - this actually looks great

The one good thing about the height of the rear end is that it hides the back of your head from the people behind who are flicking you the Vs.

Call me a sucker but I absolutely adore the look of 911 Speedsters. 930 Speedster I love and the 964 is rather nice too.

Yes it's stupid money but for a fantasy garage I very, very happily have this Speedster sat next to my 911 Sport Classic.

Only negative - is that really a speedster windscreen? Doesn't look as small to me as the 930 does in comparison.

Well done Porsche, diluting the product even further. Whilst they're at it, they could bring out a 911 with gulf livery and a picture of Steve McQueen on the doors, and maybe charge say £200k. I'm sure they'd find 200 suckers to buy yet another run out model. Big thumbs down from me I'm afraid.

Love it!

I even love it's fat rear end. If I had the cash I'd have already placed an order for it, maybe 2.

That's a nice Beetle

The bathtub is dead. Let there be no more of this nonsense.

Just curious but for those not liking the Speedster is it this incarnation or 911 Speedsters in general?

[useyourdellusion]

All incarnations of the Speedster 'humps' look like Ebay BIN impulse moments to me.....

[Mannginger]

For me personally all 911 Cabrios and Speedsters in particular just look wrong.

The 930 just about pulls off the Speedster look, but then again it's always had rather pretty proportions. Slightly biased opinion.....

Looks better with the hood up - which surely is not the idea.

Agreed, above pic looks damn good.
Wheeels are nice too.

But far too expensive imho for what it is- is it special enough to justify the purchase cost?

These work for a number of reasons that the latest one doesn't:

1. The design is smooth and subtle, however
2. The design is a great improvement over the standard convertible (e.g. no quarterlights in doors, much lower windscreen)
3. They weren't double the price of a standard one.

The other thing that irks me about this is that Aston Martin charged 50% more than the DB7 for the AR1 and Zagato models, which were total reskins of the car and provided something totally different. These to me are coveted cars.

Still, all new Speedsters are sold so there's no point grumbling.

Ghastly.

That looks amazing - love it!

Couldn't understand all the negative comments....then I realised this post was in General Gassing.

Haters....

Yet more swivel-powered junk from 'PorkChaver'.

I dislike Porsche more and more each week!
