保时捷仍在继续开发全新911，新车计划于明年晚些时候发布。除了诸如R和TurboSExclusive这些车型外，Speedster也将很快加入911家族。最近谍照记者拍到了这辆敞篷车照片。该车将采用专属机械顶蓬。谍照显示，Speedster原型车的后部织物车顶进行了伪装，预计后部造型将有所改变，进一步提升911敞篷车的车顶收纳后，侧面轮廓吸引力。另外，新车采用了新的轮拱，很可能取自卡雷拉4。同时，新车还将配备新的轮圈，车厢内外随处可见“Speedster“字样。该车与保时捷最近发布的其他版本一样也将限量生产。2011款Speedster仅生产了356辆，因此预计这款车的产量也将差不多是这个数量。不过遗憾的是，该车动力系统并未获得提升，仍搭载那台3.0升水平对置六缸涡轮增压引擎，功率331千瓦/450马力，扭矩550牛米。预计车辆百公里加速时间3.8秒，最高时速308公里。新款保时捷Speedster很可能在年底前开幕的洛杉矶车展首次亮相。
Porsche 911 Speedster Caught Posing For The Spy Camera
As Porsche continues to develop its all-new 911 – scheduled for a debut sometime late in 2019 – the German marque is planning one final hurrah of its current generation. Following special series models like the R and Turbo S Exclusive models before it, the Speedster will soon join the 911 lineup, complete with a handful of new visual upgrades over the standard cabrio.
For one, it will feature a unique roof mechanism. New spy photos show the Speedster prototype with camouflage over the rear portion of the cloth top, which will expectedly be chopped and angled differently to give the 911 a more appealing profile with the roof down. Other added design cues will include new fenders – likely borrowed from the Carrera 4 – some new wheels, and undoubtedly a few added "Speedster" emblems located throughout the cabin and on the exterior. Like the most recent version, this one will be limited. Just 356 examples of the 2011 Speedster were built, so expect production numbers for the new model to be around the same.
Unfortunately for speed freaks, power from the GTS on which it’s based likely won’t be improved. The same 3.0-liter biturbo flat-six will carry over, producing 450 horsepower (331 kilowatts) and 405 pound-feet (550 Newton-meters) of torque, which should give it a similar 0-62 (100 kmh) time of 3.8 seconds, and a top speed somewhere in the neighborhood of 191 mph (308 kmh).
The new Porsche Speedster will likely be shown before the end of the year; the L.A. Auto Show would make an ideal location for a debut.
