I like it...but it's just so...bloated.

HardDrive 04-21-2013 07:54 PM

I love Mexican blue.

BeyGon 04-21-2013 07:55 PM

Yes, that is good looking, I could drive it if I just had another 100k

On top of the $104K you would have to have to buy it:eek:

Porsche 911 News: 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster Debuts – Car and Driver

speeder 04-21-2013 08:13 PM

Yep, $204k it was. But it is cool.

I think that it's Riviera Blue, (993 color), but it's hard to say. They are very similar. :cool:

I bet it looks even better with the top down/off.

I assume it's not that much lighter than a regular 911 or 911 cab?

Bill Douglas 04-21-2013 09:57 PM

Wow, I love it. I haven't seen Porsche come out with such a nice looking car since, since 1989.

Don't forget, the original speedster was the super economy model, stripped down and no comforts...

onewhippedpuppy 04-22-2013 03:15 AM

I love the Fuch tributes, but somehow the car's proportions look off to me.

BReif61 04-22-2013 04:14 AM

I'd love to have one of them. The modern Fuchs just look right on that car.

I think it's the rear; the design of the soft top makes the rear look bigger/longer when it is up.

"Bloated" describes it perfectly, too much space between wheel arches and tires, but that can be fixed.

kiwiokie 04-22-2013 05:29 PM

Looks like Oslo Blue to me.

Tervuren 04-22-2013 06:08 PM

They had one in the same/similar color scheme at my dealer when I was walking through, looked great until I saw the price. @_@

Just get a boxster spyder and call it a day.

cairns 04-23-2013 05:15 AM

With all due respect.....I hate it.

It's the antithesis of everything Speedster and embodies the worst of Porsche excess IMO.

Overwrought, over optioned, overweight, ill proportioned, available only with an automatic, swathed in leather down to the coat hooks it is, IMO, the ultimate Porsche poseur vehicle. For the same money you could buy a GTS convertible and nice used GT3.

But I do like the color.

VincentVega 04-23-2013 05:21 AM

Cool color.

That's more like it

herr_oberst 04-23-2013 05:29 AM

^^^^ Soothing!

scottmandue 04-23-2013 06:54 AM

I like it but yeah,

If I was shopping with $200K budget there would be a long list of cars.

McLovin 04-23-2013 06:58 AM

Modern Anti-Speedster.
