Unlike earlier 911s, where rev-matched downshifts required a switch to Sport mode, this one comes with an 鈥淎uto Blip鈥?button on the center console. GT3 suspension hardware, meanwhile, has been slightly tweaked for a less intense ride. The springs remain untouched, but the ride height increases two-tenths of an inch and the dampers are tuned for greater compliance. The cabin offers a few mostly symbolic gestures toward lightweighting and minimalism, from fixed, carbon bucket seats and nylon-strap door pulls to a button-free steering wheel. Buyers can delete air conditioning, but U.S. But the Speedster鈥檚 more crucial personality traits come from driving with the top down at speed. It takes a few more steps to deploy the Speedster鈥檚 thinner fabric roof than a conventional, power-actuated cabriolet top. But stay the course, and the flat-six produces a thrilling tidal wave of power all the way up to redline. Surprisingly, it turns out the engine isn鈥檛 quite the Speedster鈥檚 scene-stealing attraction.
Despite the powerplant鈥檚 tremendous thrust and rev happy responsiveness, the Speedster鈥檚 chassis and suspension reveal a remarkable balance between on-road compliance and cornering sharpness. With the reins loose enough in ESC OFF, we鈥檙e happy to leave the traction control alone. Press the 鈥淓SC OFF鈥?button, and the Speedster gets noticeably livelier when pushed hard, enabling slides that reveal the engine鈥檚 considerable power reserves. We didn鈥檛 have the nerve to switch all systems off (after all, the cliffs in Sardinia, where we were testing the Speedster, are very steep), but then again, we never felt the need. With the reins loose enough in ESC OFF, we鈥檙e happy to leave the traction control alone. As with the less edgy suspension, Porsche made the carbon ceramic brakes a tad more user friendly via a slightly softer pad compound. The resulting change doesn't draw much attention to itself, but that鈥檚 exactly the point; the Speedster feels like a more approachable, more usable version of the GT3 Touring. It trades some of the manic, high-strung suspension action for a more docile ride.
The result is greater comfort, yes, but also more confidence when negotiating corners. After all, nothing feels quite as reassuring as good steering feedback coupled with a suspension鈥檚 ability to feel connected to the road below. Added bonus: the airflow through the cabin, a bit stronger and more turbulent due to the abbreviated windshield, brings an element of drama to the proceedings. To call the new 911 Speedster a GT3 Touring with added vitamin D would be missing the point. Sure, it shares the vast majority of the coupe鈥檚 underpinnings and wraps it in al fresco packaging, but the chassis and suspension tuning bring an entirely different character to the roadster, lending it a surprising amount of usability. Maybe. If you鈥檙e really into the idea of tempestuous, challenging high-dollar sports cars, the Speedster might not tickle your fancy. But if your vision of a limited-production ragtop includes driving it fervently every day, the Speedster manages to deliver shockingly pricey but impressively effective high-speed bliss.
