2019 Porsche Speedster Unveiled In New York
If there is one lesson to be learned from Porsche, it is to never call their bluff. That鈥檚 because Porsche doesn鈥檛 bluff. Their confidence is backed by their amazing products. To many fans, only one car could surpass the fun of a 911 GT3. Offering it as a convertible would be the ultimate farewell to the 991.2 series, so the 2019 Porsche Speedster was unveiled in New York. The new 2020 Porsche 911 is based on a new chassis. While the 992 series will eventually include turbos, targas, and GT models, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S are all the only examples rolling off the assembly line. Until then, the 911 Speedster will be offered with all the best parts. Starting with the 4.0L engine from the GT3 RS, each cylinder has its own throttle body. Borrowed from the 911 GT3 R, it allows for instant throttle response in any situation.
It allows 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque to spin a six-speed manual. Thankfully, the PDK automatic is not even an option. You will hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds on your way to 192 mph. The windshield and windows are much shorter, and they are covered by a manually operated soft top. Carbon fiber was used for the deck lid, hood, and fenders to keep weight to a minimum. The six speed transmission is 9 lbs lighter than the 7-speed stick offered in the Carrera, and the close ratios allow the engine to stay in the powerband. Air Conditioning is also omitted, but it can be added for an unspecified sum. With a curb weight of 3,230 lbs, it will more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Unfortunately Porsche is only building 1,948 examples as a grand finale for their 70th anniversary. If your old speedster has seen better days, click the link below to find our dealer near you.
She claims that he wouldn鈥檛 let her make decisions on her own, cracked jokes about domestic violence and, even more disturbingly, that he 鈥榬egularly held me down against my will鈥? 鈥楳ost often this involved him putting his hand over me to prevent me from getting out of bed,鈥?she said. 鈥楬e would not let me leave the bed until he decided that it was time. 鈥楬e would tell me to relax. I would have to pretend to relax and wait. Sometimes I cried and begged him to let me go. On one occasion, she claims that he slapped her face at Oslo airport after she remarked that she didn鈥檛 like champagne. This disturbing account of their six-year affair is utterly at odds with Hamish鈥檚 insistence that the couple鈥檚 relationship was 鈥榠ntense, intimate, loving, consensual and collaborative鈥? He has told the Mail that 鈥榳e were both incredibly happy and in love for six years and we built a wonderful life together鈥? His barrister James Bailey QC said: 鈥楧uring the course of their relationship Mandy and Hamish had come to own a variety of property around the world together. Mandy provided the funds for their joint life together, building for their future.
鈥楤ut now she has changed her mind about Hamish, she wants it all back. It seems that the accumulation and preservation of wealth after the fact is a common thread in Mandy鈥檚 relationships.鈥?So what is the truth about their relationship? As the Mail has previously revealed, American-born Mandy and Hamish met in 2009 at the exclusive KX gym in Chelsea, an 拢8,000-a-year private members鈥?health club frequented by the likes of Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton. At the time, Mandy was married to Randy Work, a Texan financier who made about 拢150 million while working for a private equity firm in Tokyo. The couple lived in a 拢35 million townhouse in Kensington with their two children and regularly worked out at the gym. But when the marriage ended and Mandy set up home with Hamish, she and Randy divorced and spent two years fighting in the High Court before Mandy walked away with half her husband鈥檚 fortune.
