The 1970-1972 Porsche 914/6

Overview

The 911 Speedster represented a limited-production roadster variant emphasizing lightweight construction and open-air motoring, introduced in 1987 as a revival of the legendary 356 Speedster concept. The 911 Speedster employed the contemporary 3.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine and removable targa roof configuration, with aggressive aerodynamic modifications and lightweight construction reducing curb weight compared to contemporary cabriolet variants. The designation "Speedster" deliberately referenced the 356 Speedster heritage, establishing continuity between historic and contemporary Porsche design philosophy.
