The mechanical basis of this sporty variant of the Porsche cabriolet, which the brand called a "Speedster", was identical to the classic version. It was powered by a 3.2-litre, naturally-aspirated 6-cylinder engine developing 231 bhp and mated to a 5-speed G50 manual gearbox. The bodywork, however, is much more exclusive. In homage to the history of the 356, this Speedster features a small, steeply raked windscreen, a streamlined, articulated soft-top cover and a profiled double headrest, all of which give it a very streamlined silhouette, particularly when the car is hooded. Two body styles were available: narrow body and wide body. The car's resolutely sporty lines appealed to customers at the time, most of whom opted for the wide body, which came with the famous 'Turbo Look' pack to further enhance the car's streamlined appearance. More streamlined, the bodywork saves almost 70 kg compared with the contemporary Carrera cabriolet, making it even more dynamic. Only 2,274 examples were produced of this radical version of the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2L, which was just as exclusive in terms of its limited distribution as its design: a must-have, a true collector's item! "Our" Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2L Speedster is a Turbo Look version (wide body), which comes in an Indian Red configuration with black leather interior. This 911 Speedster is in excellent condition and runs more than pleasantly. It is particularly pleasant to enjoy the sound of the flat 6. It has obviously always been particularly well cared for and maintained, as it is so well preserved. It comes with all its notebooks and manuals in their original pouch. This 911 Carrera 3.2L Speedster is one of just 2104 examples built in this large version. It's a rare car, in very good condition and in a striking configuration, typical of the 1980s. Special series are more popular than ever with collectors, who are increasingly interested in limited and exclusive editions. Let yourself be tempted by its dreamy curves, and make a wise investment at the same time!
