The 1989 Speedster was a single model year offering which not coincidentally was the 25 th anniversary of the 911. Only 2,104 of the new Speedster were built between January and September of 1989 and of that total only 823 were delivered to the US. The Speedster, option M503, was the last variant based on the outgoing K program chassis, that was to be replaced by the new Type 964. Porsche offered the new Speedster in both slant nosed and turbo body variants in Germany but only the turbo look was sold to the US customers. The 911 Speedster was distinctly shaped by Porsche?s styling department under the direction of Tony Lapine. It offered a cut down windshield reminiscent of the original that was more than 3 inches lower and raked 5 degrees flatter than that of the standard Cabriolet, a minimal single layer fabric top and a twin ?camel humps? fiberglass tonneau covered the area where the occasional rear seats would normally reside. The front quarter windows were eliminated and the new side windows were manually operated. Like the original 356 Speedster the new version was rarely seen with its top up.

Power is delivered by the 214hp 3164cc air cooled SOHC horizontally opposed six cylinder engine with DME Motronic/2 electronic fuel injection and a Type G50 Five-speed manual transaxle. Independent rear suspension and four wheel power disc brakes. This car is all original and has just over 13,000 original miles making this a true collector?s item.
