Porsche 911 Speedster Concept (2018)

In summer 2018, Porsche unveiled a cool concept car to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Porsche sports cars. The Porsche 911 Speedster Concept was a road-ready study of an open-top sports car.

The characteristics of the 911 Speedster Concept include the shorter window frame with a more inclined windscreen and correspondingly shortened side windows. These features give the sports car study an even stockier profile with a very low fly line, which is reminiscent of its predecessors such as the Porsche 356 1500 Speedster.

A special rear cover made of carbon fibre connects behind the front seats, covering a roll-over protection structure and featuring a “double bubble”, a traditional element of this sports car design since the 911 Speedster from 1988. Two contrasting black slats between the “humps” add an aerodynamic touch, and a transparent Plexiglas wind deflector features an engraved “70 years of Porsche” logo.

The lightweight principles of the Speedster philosophy continue through into the interior, where the navigation, radio and air conditioning systems have all been eliminated. The full bucket seats are made of carbon, and the light brown Aniline leather covers in Cognac 356 pick up on features from the car’s classic predecessors. Later that same year Porsche unveiled another Speedster concept and confirmed that the 911 Speedster would go into production in 2019.
