The 991 Speedster served as the grand finale for the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. Porsche produced just 1,948 units globally, a number honoring the year the first Porsche 356 was registered. Mechanically, it's a greatest hits compilation, combining the chassis of the GT3 with its sensational 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-6 engine, but paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Collectors prize the Speedster for its unique blend of open-top driving and GT car performance. Its specific styling, including the characteristic double-bubble streamliners on the rear decklid, a shorter windshield, and carbon fiber front fenders and hood, sets it apart. The optional Heritage Design Package, with its classic motorsport-inspired livery and two-tone leather interior, adds another layer of desirability and value.
The market for the 991 Speedster remains strong due to its limited production and purist-focused specification. With an average sale price near $392,000, it trades well above its original MSRP. Examples with the Heritage Design Package and very low mileage consistently command the highest prices, often exceeding $500,000, securing the model's status as a blue-chip modern collectible.
Buying Tips
- The optional Heritage Design Package is highly desirable and adds a significant premium, making it a key value driver.
- Check for the front axle lift system. It's a must-have option to protect the low front spoiler from scrapes on driveways and ramps.
- Inspect the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) hood and fenders for any signs of damage or cracks, as repairs can be very expensive.
- The manual fabric top is a lightweight, simplified design. Verify its condition and operation, as it's not as robust as a standard Cabriolet top.
- Always request a DME (Digital Motor Electronics) report to check for engine over-revs, a standard precaution for any manual Porsche GT product.
