The Porsche 911 Speedster could become a reality very soon with the next generation of the German sports car

Several manufacturers are currently working to recreate iconic models from the past, bringing back the spirit of those vehicles that once. A few weeks ago, Porsche gave us a striking – and surprising – concept car that left not only the brand’s enthusiasts but all lovers of the motoring world amazed. It was the 911 Speedster, a vehicle that directly pays homage to some of the most acclaimed models of the German brand, but a test mule suggests that it may very well not remain a simple prototype.

Thanks to a video of several test vehicles based on the current 911, we can see that the sleek silhouette hidden beneath its black camouflage fits perfectly with the concept of the Speedster. Porsche allowed these mules to be filmed before the presentation of the concept car but, now that we know it, we can be almost certain that the German brand will bring the Speedster back to life with the next generation of the 911.

Porsche warned us about what the future might hold with this concept car, a vehicle that signals the revival of a myth within the brand. The German brand’s Speedster models have always been characterised by a high level of sportiness, and this time would be no different. The prototype unveiled by Porsche featured the very same engine as the GT3 and, considering what we can glimpse from the test mules, we can infer that this will not be different in the production version.

We can see that the 911 camouflaged at the Nürburgring adopts features that Porsche uses exclusively on its most radical models, such as the GT3 or the GT3 RS. Both the front bumper and the wheels have been taken directly from one of the most sporty variants of the Porsche 911, and we are almost certain that this is no coincidence. In this way, we could be looking at one of the fastest convertibles in the world.

Let us recall that the Porsche 911 GT3 has in its interior a 4.0-litre, six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine capable of delivering 500 CV and 460 Nm of torque, the same engine the brand used to bring the concept car to life. Furthermore, the GT3’s heart can be paired with either a manual gearbox or the fabulous PDK, something we hope will continue to be respected in the production Speedster, as well as the naturally aspirated engine.

For the moment, Porsche has not made any statement on the matter, but everything points to the German brand putting the final details in place to bring the Speedster to life. In this way, Porsche will manage to revive a myth that could open a new path for the 911, since the rebirth of this variant would make room for more configurations for the future generations of the iconic German sports car.
