Porsche"s configurator is among the best time wasters on the Internet. And now it"s even better thanks to the addition of the 911 Speedster, which starts at 211k and, as we"ll see, can be optioned up to far, far more than that. Traditionally, Porsche waves goodbye to each generation of 911 with a Speedster model. It did it for the G-Series, the 964, 993 (kinda) and 997. And now it"s done it for the 991 too. All have cut-down windscreens, canvas soft-tops and are of limited supply. The 991, which is effectively a 911 GT3 minus a roof, is limited to 1,948 cars. Its 4.0-litre engine makes 503bhp - 10bhp more than in the GT3 - and gets individual throttle bodies for even sharper responses. You can"t get a PDK gearbox, either. Just a six-speed manual. Lovely.
