motoring motoringvideo 8153622 ----- # Porsche 911 Speedster on film ## Footage of Porsche's new £144,100 911 Speedster in action. 560 315 TelegraphPlayer-8153622 11:53AM GMT 23 Nov 2010 [Comments][1] Nods to earlier Speedsters such as the 964-generation 911 of the 1990s include black stone guards on the rear wheel arches and black surrounds for the headlights. The profile of the new 911 Speedster is given maximum impact by the use of the Carrera 4 body, its 44 millimetre wider rear stance giving extra emphasis to the rear-wheel drive nature of the car. Powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six engine producing 408bhp and 310lb ft of torque, the Speedster lives up to its name by hitting the benchmark 62mph from a standstill in 4.6 seconds and attaining a top speed of 189.5mph. Average fuel consumption is claimed to be 27.3mpg, so the car uses no more fuel than the standard 911 Carrera S Cabriolet thanks, says the firm, to "Porsche Intelligent Performance". The Speedster comes as standard with the seven-speed PDK gearbox, active suspension management and ceramic brakes. For when the weather turns bad, there's a lightweight canvas roof stowed under the rear "humps".

It can also be ordered in white, at no extra cost. The Speedster series began in 1953 with a sports car based on the Porsche 356, which had two bucket seats, doors with slide-in plastic windows and a shortened, elegantly curved windscreen.
