The 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster (997) is a convertible variant of the 2009 - 2012 Porsche 911 (997). The car was produced in a limited production run of 356 models in 2011.
The production number is a reference to the Porsche 356 Speedster, which was also sold with a similar body style. Both cars are notable for having a short windscreen and a soft top.
Games[]
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)[]
The 911 Speedster appears in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) as a Super Series racer vehicle, and as an SCPD Rapid Deployment unit as part of the Porsche Unleashed pack for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases.
It is capable of reaching 190 mph (306 km/h) top speed without nitrous and 210 mph (337 km/h) if it is used, and it can only be applied with a Pure Blue body paint colour. The Porsche Unleashed Pack also features a Gauntlet event called 'Barnstormer', which can only be played with the 911 Speedster.
It has sluggish acceleration, which makes it difficult to reach top speed. Its nitrous boost is decent, and handling is acceptable, along with its durability, but it is best used on long straights where nitrous can be utilised to accelerate faster.
Description
“Reinterpretation of the Classic Porsche Speedster”
The Speedster name is one of the most evocative in the history of Porsche. To commemorate its famous '50s forbear, a limited edition 911 Speedster will go on sale in January 2011. As a homage to the original 356 Speedster only 356 examples of this low-slung, open-top, two-seater will be made so seeing one will be a rare sight.
The characteristic rear-engined chassis features the best from the current 911 generation; a 3.8 litre flat six tuned to deliver 408 BHP with an average fuel consumption of 27.43 mpg and the 7-speed Porsche PDK gearbox which delivers power via a limited slip differential to the rear axle.
Designed and conceived by the Porsche Exclusive department class in Stuttgart, the two-seater 911 Speedster is significantly different from the other members of the 911 family. Every Porsche Speedster is traditionally distinguished by its shortened windscreen and sleek tail. The new 911 features a 40mm lowered and raked windscreen and the characteristic 'double-bubble' hardcover for the manual soft top. The Sporting flavor is enhanced further by the 'Pure Blue' exterior color that has been developed exclusively for the Speedster, and which provides an intriguing contrast with the tinted front lights, black headlight surrounds, black windscreen border, and other black decorative features.
