I think you are on the money. While it may have the cool tonneau cover, the practicality of the cabriolet cannot be underestimated. You will just have to be patient until it comes out and if it did you just saved a bundle of $$$.

If they follow the speedster up with a GT3 cab I will be super happy. As it is, justifying an extra, what, $100k in sticker over a GT3 for no roof is hard for me to justify. If they just made a GT3 Touring cab at the standard cab extra cost ($13k or whatever) that would be ideal for me. I don’t need humps on my topless stripper

I like the idea of a "stripper". I always felt my spyder was over accessorized.... If Porsche makes all the Speedsters without A/C and Radio, then that might bring the pool of buyers down. I think a Stripper Speedster is a fantastic and true to the roots idea; however, customization options from the factory is also cool so I'm open to all options myself, no judgement, but a stripper would be ideal imho.

Values are subjective but to me the Spyder (even a Boxster) is MUCH better looking than the Speedster (or any other 911 convertible) and 380hp is much more back-roads friendly than 500hp. Frankly, I can't see why anyone would choose a Speedster over a Spyder (or even a Boxster), except maybe FOMO and status signalling (google Veblen good). Porsche seems to be milking the latter to the max with its GT marketing/sales. Every new GT model comes as if made of unobtanium only to be offered for sale in droves with <1k miles less than a year later and before the new GT unobtanium car gets launched. Rinse, repeat.
PS.After 3 years of ownership of 2 Spyders, Right now I'm Spyderless, but I do plan on buying a nice used one down the road because they are FANTASTIC CARS.

I thought that was an early speedster? It's hard not to pay attention when a beautiful new Porsche spy shot is released, but I can't keep track of them all. I do remember a cab 4.0 but I thought it was being described as a Speedster tester.

So there was a cab that was a GT3 Touring with a convertible (not speedster) roof. I presume it was just a mule that they were using to test something related to the speedster and not a planned production model. Then again, if speedsters well like hotcakes and there is massive ADM, it would be very easy to make a GT3 Touring cab for the plebes who can’t get a speedster. And we all know Porsche likes making money.
