Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just kidding on the Boxster reference. Just thought I'd see what direction this goes. Anyway, one of the coolest Speedsters I have seen was a 964
Porsche is bringing back the 911 Speedster some 16 years and three model generations after it last was featured in the German sports-car maker's lineup.
The car, pictured here ahead of a planned unveiling alongside the 911 Carrera GTS at the Paris Motor Show, is just the third 911 Speedster to be put into series production and follows tradition by being based on the existing cabriolet version of Porsche's iconic rear-engine sports car.
Paying homage to the car that kicked off Porsche's fascination with the chopped-top look, the original 356 Speedster launched in 1953 at the behest of its U.S. importer. The new 911 Speedster uses standard bodywork but receives a shorter and more heavily raked windscreen than other 911 models.
A plastic tonneau cover behind the cabin also receives a double-bubble treatment reminiscent of that gracing the first 911 Speedster, the 964 model introduced in 1988. The overall appearance is further enhanced by the adoption of the widened rear bodywork of the latest 911 Carrera 4S cabriolet, with its 1.7-inch wider wheel housings.
A flat, manually operated fabric hood is designed to provide occasional protection from the elements, although as on earlier examples of the 911 Speedster, it is unlikely to be as sturdy as the standard 911 Cabriolet's automatic roof.
The car was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Porsche Exclusive, the company's in-house individualization program. Porsche's latest 911 also receives a series of visual upgrades, including an additional chin spoiler at the base of the front bumper, tinted indicator lamps, blackened headlamps surrounds and windscreen frame, unique side sills and a rear bumper boasting 911 GT3-style air ducts behind the rear wheel arches. Inside, there is a combination of black leather and color-keyed elements from the Porsche Exclusive catalogue.
Power for the rear-wheel-drive 911 Speedster comes from the same 3.8-liter version of Porsche's classic horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine as that unveiled in the 911 Carrera GTS. With 402 hp, it packs 22 hp more than the standard 3.8-liter flat-six used in the 911 Carrera S cabriolet.
Torque remains the same at 310 lb-ft, albeit developed 200 rpm lower in the rev range at 4,200 rpm. No performance figures have been released, but expect 0 to 62 mph in about 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph.
Standard equipment includes Porsche's excellent seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox, a locking differential, adaptive damping and carbon-ceramic brakes.
In a move that will ensure its exclusivity, Porsche says it plans to produce just 356 examples of the new 911 Speedster. North American pricing is yet to be revealed but look for the car to sticker at about $150,000.
This is interesting, but I actually prefer the look of a standard 997 cab. This new speedster is a little too humpbacked looking for me. I love the color though!
+1, the black and blue combo looks great, but the extra hump, esp the shot in pic #3 makes it look.. out of proportion....
all the styling cues would look much better on a 997 cab.
It reminds me of those Sketcher shoes that are supposed to tone your legs. But in reality they are the same shoes that the slow kids wore when I was in elementary school.
Nay vote for me.
See the PCNA press release
here.
Note that the MSRP is a little more than the estimated sticker price in the OP, but I'm sure Porsche won't have any trouble finding 356 folks who'll happily cough up 204 Large for one of these. It's almost double the price of the Carrera GTS, too. That special "Pure Blue" paint job is gorgeous, isn't it?
I'm a lookin and I'm a likin.
Hump an all. But If given the choice I would choose the GTS. I never really liked any convertibles of any vintage, of any car....ever.
I don't like it.
Front lip, recharge too much the aesthetical sense
The 'humps' as Pete said
make it a bit distort for my taste.
I'm not very friend of special editions but if there is one f them that I liked, is the Sport Classic.
I got a letter from PCNA about the launch (WITH NO PHOTOS!) and was skeptical
I love the look, but i loved the 964 speedster as well
My favorite speedsters are flat black, mostly made of surfboard foam and have like 47 bhp, but hey
I even love Boxsters with speedster humps
