Porsche 911 Speedster (2020/991 type) announced

The 911 Speedster that marks the end of the 7th generation 991 Porsche 911

finally! finally! The Porsche 911 Speedster has been announced.

Somehow, it's moving. When I think that 991 is over, I feel like I'm crying, but I'm still impressed by the appearance of Speedster (tension is too high). No, after seeing this announcement, I'm full of various feelings from the morning alone.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster sales volume

Well, as I wrote in the above, this 911 Speedster is a limited production of "1,948 units" all over the world.

The number 1,948 comes from 1948, the memorable year when Porsche 356 first obtained the first license from the German government.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster Spec

It's a spec that I'm curious about, but NA as it was said.

• Adopted Porsche 911 GT3 and horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine with naturally aspirated 4 liters coming from GT3 RS
• With 502 horsepower, its rotation speed (rev limit) is 9,000 rotations
• Transmission is 6-speed manual (PDK does not come out)
• 60 miles (0-96.5km) is 3.8 seconds
• Maximum speed is 192 mph (about 308.9 km)
• Vehicle weight is 3,230 pounds (about 1,465 kg) ← This is 209 pounds (94.8 km) lighter than even the 991 "991R" which is made extremely light

The Speedster is an open car, but the top is made of lightweight cloth. It seems to open and close manually.

One of the features is that carbon is used in many places. The front and rear lids and front fenders are also made of carbon, and the brakes are also PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).

The air conditioner is standard equipment! … But you can get it for free

In order to reduce the weight, it is said that the air conditioner is not included as standard equipment (for me, though (laughs)).

Well then, summer in Japan can't come! !! It seems that it is possible to turn on the air conditioner as a free option.

Overseas, it says, "But how about turning on the air conditioner on the Speedster?", But I would definitely turn it on ^^

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster Price and Release Date

This is still a story in North America, but the selling price of the Porsche 911 Speedster announced this time was 274,500 dollars (including the delivery fee of 1,250 dollars that is always required at the time of sale in the United States), so it is simply Japanese yen. When converted, it will be about 30.8 million yen.

Orders will be accepted in the US on May 7, 2019, and Speedster delivery is expected to be around the end of 2019.

It wasn't a side mirror of the Speedster concept ...

The only disappointment (?) For me was that the "side mirror" that was in the Speedster concept car was not adopted. I like this side mirror. Is it hard to see (laughs)?

This is the side mirror at the time of concept ↓

However, it seems that it actually looks like this ↓

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster Watch

In addition, a watch that matches the 991 Speedster will be released. If you think "I want to buy just a watch" ... but this is for Speedster owners, I can't buy it in general ^^

The 911 Speedster chronograph created by Porsche Design is a Werk 01.200 flyback chronograph.

The carbon fiber dial and the rotor are the color and design of the Speedster centerlock wheel. The back of this watch is foil, which is really nice. The watch that Porsche puts out in such a limited way, I like the "back side" the most ^ ^

The leather used in the interior of the Speedster is also used in the leather strap of the watch, with red stitching on the black leather.

This Porsche 911 Speedster Chronograph, the price of the watch starts from $ 6,000 (about 672,000 yen).

I was very excited about the new Porsche 911 992, but this is the 911 7th generation 991 type last model "911 Speed Star". I really want to meet you soon.

Hmm, I want to meet you! !!
