Porsche's Sonderwunsch Factory One-Off Brings This 911 Speedster (Type 993) To Life
Since 1954, the “Speedster” has been an integral part of Porsche history. Characterized by a two-seat layout, a unique cowl, and shortened windshield, they offer open driving pleasure with expressive driving dynamics. Yet, there’s a gap in the model history. Porsche offered 911 Speedster variants of the G-Series (second generation) and Type 964 (third generation), but except for two one-offs and, much later, a model rebuilt as part of a factory restoration, there was no Speedster from the fourth generation of the 911, the Type 993, save for two—one developed for Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and another for comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
