What i have heard is different, that’s all i will share
End of day Porsche is pretty methodical and predictable with their car evolutions. Doesn’t take a genius to guess pretty close.

I had the last generation Speedster and the 981 Spyder. 981Spyder was and is no comparison for the 997 Speedster. The Spyder is a much more engaging car, while the Speedster was a special looking grand tourer. The Speedster was missing that special “something” and we all know that the 981 Spyder is really special. I think they are giving the 991 Speedster that special something to make up for the lack of excitement for the 997 version. 500 PLUS hp which includes the titanium exhaust from GT3RS and an open top. Can’t wait to hear that exhaust wail. Think about it, our 981 Spyders sound much better than the gt4 because of the lack of a fixed roof. Just imagine the sound of the speedster. If it’s fugly, I’ll lock her in a closet and only bring her out at night. Just like my ex wife...
