Porsche
911 Speedster (993) (1995 & 2000 (+2024 Sonderwunsch))

Why it matters

The 993 generation of the 911 never had a Speedster in the regular range. Porsche says only two 993-based Carrera Speedsters were built before 2024, plus the 2024 Sonderwunsch car. That 2024 car was the first Factory One-Off Porsche built for a private customer and is described by Porsche's head of individualisation as its most elaborate Sonderwunsch project to date.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The first 993 Speedster was developed in 1995 by the Exclusive department for Ferdinand Alexander Porsche: a green car on the Carrera body with 17-inch alloy wheels and a Tiptronic gearbox. It later returned to the factory museum on loan from the family. A second car was built for an American customer from one of the last 993 Cabriolets of 1998, as a silver Turbo-width 4S with 18-inch wheels; Porsche dates it to 2001.

In 2024 Porsche unveiled a third Speedster, built through the Sonderwunsch programme for the designer and Speedster collector Luca Trazzi. It took more than three years and started from a 1994 911 Carrera Cabriolet (Type 993). The project began with a visit to the company archive, the customer worked with the design team, and the car went through the factory paint shop. Porsche says up to 12 such one-offs can be in work at once.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The three cars are easy to tell apart. The 1995 car is green with 17-inch alloy wheels and Tiptronic on a Carrera body. The American car is silver, with Turbo-width 4S bodywork and 18-inch wheels. The 2024 Trazzi car is Otto Yellow with a completely redesigned rear lid, a thin black frame around the shortened windscreen, black conical mirrors, 18-inch black Turbo-design wheels, Turbo (993) front spoiler, side skirts and rear fenders, Speedster logos on the headrests, illuminated carbon sill trims and a gilded 'One-off' badge on the dashboard.
