Speedster - Calling All Cleaning Ladies

The funny thing is that, while the engineers, designers, product planners, and marketing folks who build the cars haunt these boards, the high-level decision makers in PR assign zero media value to forums and social media while pouring their resources into magazines, newspapers, TV, and websites. While the latter are obvious (and I come from one of those buckets!), I do have to wonder how many real buyers are reading certain magazines or websites vs Rennlist. But humans are creatures of habit, and "safe" bets.

AC Delete, radio delete and manual were available on the Boxster Spyder, too. Doesn’t mean much...
I don’t think anyone looks at this “concept” version of the Speedster and thinks it’s a 911R convertible. All the “spy shots” showing generic “GT3 convertibles” we’re wrong, too. This car is completely unique and stands on its own 4 feet. According to Porsche’s own press release, the Speedster’s body has been borrowed from the 911 Carrera 4, and the horsepower is “over 500.” I still think Chris will be proven right at 525hp.

I hope they produce enough for everyone who wants one, what numbers who knows? maybe 3-4 thousand would satisfy US demand, my suggestion, take non-refundable deposits from everyone who wants one and build them one, why is it we never get enough, why is it demand -2000 not demand -1??

Happy Bday Porsche! Despite selling your soul to marketing strategies, your products are always great! However, i don't like the fact that they 'chopped' a 991.2 GT3 and make it a speedster concept. They didn't even change the bumpers!

Who knew there was so much design talent on Rennlist? Porsche should consult the experts here first before releasing any final design. It might end up looking like an AMC Pacer, but hey, there are many owners of the latter who LOVED that car and if Porsche is lucky, their kids might be posting here today, having inherited their parents' design chops ...

So as I understand the only rear silencer and tailpipes made of titanium not the all system.

I love everything forward of the rear wheel arches...after that I'm at a loss. I hope they find a prettier rear-end for the production model. It feels to me like they should extend the grill motif between the rear humps, like the CGT and 918. It's too flat design-wise without this. Love the wheels and black PCCBs. If black PCCBs had been an option on the T I would have seriously considered it. Also love the green R gauges. Fantastic.
Just my 0.02 bits.

With 1948 being made, the fact that it is a convertible and manual only (assuming this is true), the US should get a healthy portion of 1948, maybe 800 or more, and I figure it will be $200k plus, this will not be 911R level hard to get. Keep in mind when the R came out, everyone thought there would be no manual GT 911 cars anymore.
