DaveC:

Does anyone else find it  ironic that this $200K+  maximally optioned Porsche has as its namesake a 1950's "low cost" stripper requested of Porsche by the US distributor (Max Hoffman) so he could increase sales??  It would seem that for Porsche marketing the Speedster  appellation is now synonymous with "convince them it's an investment".  Have any of the previous Speedster iterations (911 or 964) attained "investment grade" status?

 

 +1!

I think this comes under the category of "How Stupid Do They Think We Are?"  Take a cabriolet, add a very ugly (presumably plastic) hump and reduce the windsheild and suddenly we're supposed to think it's a Speedster?

A true Speedster would essentially have to be a GT3 cab, lowered and sectioned, shortening it where the rear seats are now,  dramatically lightened. It wouldn't need a hump because the driver would sit lower on lighter racing shell seats and it would be so hard to put the top up that you wouldn't bother. You'd just drive faster to keep the rain off you.

AND it would have an interior of Alcantara.
