The 997 Speedster was a final tribute to the 997 generation, reviving a legendary nameplate for 2011. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur built just 356 examples, a number that honors the original 356 Speedster. The car combines the 408 hp engine and wide body of the Carrera GTS with unique styling, including a shorter, more raked windscreen and the iconic 'double bubble' rear decklid.
As a limited-production model with strong historical ties, the 997 Speedster was an instant collectible. It came standard with a PDK transmission and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), and most were finished in either Pure Blue or Carrara White, the two exclusive launch colors. Its unique bodywork and rarity set it apart from its 997 siblings.
Today, the 997 Speedster is a blue-chip modern Porsche. With average sale prices over $280,000, they trade for more than double the value of a comparable 997 GTS. The market is stable and strong, driven by collectors who appreciate the car's rarity and special place in the 911's lineage.
Buying Tips
- Check the manual fabric top for correct operation and any tears or scuffs; it's a unique design specific to this model.
- All Speedsters came with PCCB brakes. Inspect the ceramic rotors carefully for chips or cracks, as replacements are extremely expensive.
- Verify the car's authenticity by checking the numbered plaque on the glovebox and cross-referencing all documentation.
- A DME report is critical for any 997. It reveals the engine's operating history and any potential over-revs that could indicate abuse.
- Examine the special front spoiler and rear apron for damage. The car's low stance makes these parts susceptible to scrapes.
