After months of concepts and teasers, the Porsche 911 Speedster is finally here. And it costs um 211,599. A whole hundred grand more than the 911 GT3 upon which it"s based. And the keener eyed among you will have spotted this is the old" 991-generation 911, not the brand spanking new 992. The Speedster is effectively its final hurrah, and gets a fairly spectacular mix of components to reflect that. So the GT3"s wail-to-nine-thousand-revs 4.0-litre engine sits in the back, and with a wee bit more power freed from it. Porsche has hiked it up 10bhp to 503bhp, while individual throttle bodies should sharpen up already razor throttle response.
