Porsche 911 Speedster mass production system

Porsche 911, which is said to be a car that can be used everyday while having purely driver-centered motor sports technology, is the final model of the 991 type "Porsche 911 Speedster".

It was announced that this model was finally in production. Along with that, Porsche also announced a new sentence about Speedster, so I would like to post it in a bulleted list again ^ ^

Then, together with the photos of Speedster on the official website, the following is about the new Porsche 911 Speedster. The photos are randomly placed.
