Why The 911 Speedster Is My New Dream Car!

I recently got to spend some time with new 2020 Porsche 911 Speedster, a limited edition 'roofless' version of the 991.2 GT3. In this video, I explain why it's now my new dream car.
Porsche Speedster models began in the United States in the early 1950s, as a lightweight, and less expensive option for the burgeoning California market and rapidly developing car culture. Speedsters combine open-top driving pleasure with incredibly distinctive driving dynamics, have been part of Porsche history since 1952.
The 2019 911 Speedster is the first developed by the Porsche Motorsport department in Weissach and is immediately recognizable as a Speedster. The low-cut front windshield and side windows as well as the manually operated lightweight fabric top are characteristic for a Speedster model and make the car stand out from other series production 911 models. The two streamliners atop the rear decklid are made from carbon fiber are yet another design highlight rooted in the model’s history.
The 911 Speedster’s race-bred powerplant is based on the on the one used in the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS models and represents the next generation of this engine. It has been enhanced with individual throttle bodies that make the throttle response sharper, similar to the ones found on the new 911 GT3 R race car. Higher fuel injection pressure and a new lightweight exhaust system, which saves about 22 pounds of weight compared to the 2018 911 GT3, are also unique to the new 911 Speedster.

Phenomenal deals in the US for these... almost every week "I'm about to buy one"... right now I went back and found the cheapest one for sale in the US at 275k with less than 1,000 miles on it... too much car for the money! great video as always brother, keep em coming!

You should buy one for sure. Kinda of similar to the 911r but less money and is a little more relaxed and has the cool roof. I see your love for spiders has seem to grow (your Aston and pista)

@Trillzzy3 4 года назад

Looks like someone’s about trade in another car after a month

@DrivenNotHidden 4 года назад

Simple macro economics apply here. The prices will normalize once all of the flippers have sold their supply, and the cars end up in the hands of those who really wanted one. Think the 911r prices dipped to almost $250k, and have run back up to $310-350k, build dependent.

@BlargMyShnoople 4 года назад

that double bubble at the back and the side profile of this car is incredible, great video as always Sam!!

@JoeAchilles1 4 года назад

Another brilliant video Sam, probably the only cab (plus the Boxster Spyder) I would ever dream of owning. If any of those 14 flippers fancy lending me one for a quick video, drop me a line 🎬

@vedmalvankar1496 4 года назад

I love how you explain how the car feels better than anybody else. I mean I turned 18 couple a months ago and still waiting on my driver's license. I've been watching your videos since 8th grade and mate it's really grown my love for cars. Hope this motivates you. ❤️

@runningnosejoe 4 года назад

This one is a beauty. I love it. With the roof down.

@gandalfkenobi007 4 года назад

I loved this car from the first moment I set eyes on it. It's so underrated yet so beautiful, visually but also from a heritage point of view. You're lucky to be driving this car, I'm glad you know to appreciate it. The car is also lucky to be driven by you. Never letting us down on video quality Sam, do keep up the good work.

@richardnorris9654 4 года назад

We were lucky enough to get a Speedster allocation and it was a privilege to spec one (it’s driven and is definitely not for sale). We have noticed over the years that Porsche dealership owners are often keeping their allocation of limited cars and then on selling them later (usually at a huge profit). The same dealer that offered us their 918 and 911 R (at crazy prices) is now selling their Speedster. Porsche needs to stamp this out.

@FastTeam11 4 года назад

I had to check online: there are currently 44(!) Speedster for sale in Germany alone. There is an actual possibility for these things to go down on value...

@Mexxx65 4 года назад

And there will be 44 Speedsters for sale at Christmas...Who the hell in Europe or the UK is going to spend that much money on a car with essentially no roof, and needs to be driven with the "Toupee"...down..

@Hamid250swb 4 года назад

I think it will turn into something like the 911R, but alot faster, dropping from 500k to 300k. Im sure this will reach 200k soon enough, especially with the 992 gen gt3s coming

@miklas.k 4 года назад

@@Mexxx65 the other speedsters Held their value well.. but they were much rarer

@cutdepiefails6596 4 года назад

@@Mexxx65 the toupee works quite well visually and in practice. They will go down tho, not enough spine tingling wish making propaganda. R had it, gt3 rs had it, 991 gt3 had it, touring similar but bit less, the speedster barely had any, the forums barely talked about them, these type of things do influence price... 991 gt3 was the main example, problematic, pdk, and yet for 2 years was over mrsp.

@Mexxx65 4 года назад

IN other words guys..You'll hardly ever seen even one on uk roads.

@Andy77A 4 года назад

Great video Sam. It’s like being on a motorbike, it’s an attack on the senses. Being in a normal car is like watching a movie on TV, being on a motorbike or roofless car is like being IN the movie! Great work fella!! 👍🏻

@CarsWithJB 4 года назад

Great points, well made. I may be wrong, but it seems like many people (myself included) get caught up in long term cash values and other people’s opinions of cars, rather than just loving the cars for their own sake (which is entirely fair as no one wants to lose cash for no good reason, and no one wants people to look at their car like it sucks), but sometimes we just need to enjoy cars because we like them, for their own intrinsic value to us! Great video, Sam 🤙🏽

You spend a lot of time in and around the Cotswolds, Sam. I can understand why; it provides a beautiful backdrop to your videos, great roads, etc. Have you thought about doing a TGE and relocating?

@darthvaper6745 3 года назад

I remember this first time my boss took me for a lunch time spin in his early 2000's Boxster S with the roof down on a miserable day around Burnham Beaches with the heating on full and I absolutely loved it! So I totally get what you are saying!!

@888mf4 4 года назад

Drove one in Miami in January and loved it. Finally a great engine in the Speedster shape. However I am not sure I would pay £260k for one!!

@erniesantana508 3 года назад

Great video Sam but I’d like to point out that the cloth roof and manual mechanism is NOT heavier necessarily. What makes the car heavier is the stiffening of the body that has to happen to maintain the integrity of the car so that you don’t feel it flexing since it has no roof. The OPF and the top do deaden the sound substantially but an aftermarket exhaust is all that’s needed. I installed the Dundon exhaust in mine and it has transformed the car completely. If you’re ever in a Miami hit me up and you can come drive it. Cheers Ernie

@Ketta3Sportback 4 года назад

Sam, I`ve never seen you this excited before, and it was very nice for me to learn and understand that the speedster is not a posers car. Great video!!!

@Dr.Bob85 2 года назад

I keep rewatching some of your videos Sam!! This one, the McLarens above the clouds, the 718 spyder, you’re “I bought a 360!” And of course some of the Drive the World content! You’re style is great, keep up the good work. There’s a lot of automotive RU-vidrs, there’s only ONE seen through glass 👍 Greetings to Toni :) Ps: if the budget ever permits: it’ll probably be the 718 spyder in a spec similar to the one you drove.

@stevesmith866 4 года назад

The thrill of ordering one? I think finding one of these 90% of the way you would order it for $100k less would be More thrilling. Such a cool car. Great vid.

@pedrowhite911 Год назад

Absolutely love my 718 Spyder because it is like a mini Speedster. However, I am with you, Sam, on this being a dream car! I would cherish the opportunity to spec one of these. Due to the limited number produced, it’s very hard to find one to match a desired PTS spec with CXX options.

You should try the 718 Spyder back to back and see how it compares for you. Put an exhaust on it and off you go for like 100k :) I haven't driven either, but could imagine that the 718 delivers 70-80% of what the Speedster can do at 33% of the price

When did you last drive a Caterham Sam? All the experience you describe here plus more. And I’m saying that as a GT3 owner 🙂. Great vid thanks

@gregs8685 3 года назад

Definitely a dream car, but only for those with very deep pockets. For those with lower budgets I’d go with (in decreasing order) a GT3 Touring, 718 Spyder/GTS 4.0, or a 981 Boxster Spyder.

@user-yr9hp5sv9t 4 года назад

Great video Sam,very expensive here in Australia

@tofee7018 4 года назад

Honestly you should buy (if you want to, and have the money) a 718 Spyder. It has the speedster vibe Its manuel Its lighter Its based on a gt4 so it will handle good And its not thaaat expensiv And I think of all us would like to see a 718 spyder roadtrip and more content🤔😏😉

@MozOnBikes 4 года назад

Am I the only one that thinks the the Speedster isn’t as good looking as it should be? There’s like a lot of strange volume in above the area between the rear wheels and cabin. Maybe that’s why there’s so many for sale?! I actually think the Spyder is much better looking than the speedster, that with the GT3 engine would be perfect 😍 Saying that I think you could buy both a Spyder and at a GT3RS for the price of a Speedster and have your cake and eat it.
