Denis’ comment about planned classics is an interesting one. The original Speedster became a classic due to its popularity as a race car, it’s basic and lightweight design, and a connection to James Dean. Porsche didn’t make it with the intention of becoming a classic, it just happens to be appreciated as one. The Carrera based Speedster is basically a styling exercise that is nothing special underneath, and it’s really only unique as a showpiece. Sadly that’s the case with many modern “classics”, just another car to impress your fellow collectors and polish in the garage. It all seems rather contrived.
