1994 Porsche

The 1993/1994 Porsche 911 Speedster was available either in standard or lightweight trim called “clubsport.” The 1994 Speedster was based on the 964 Carrera 2 platform and was not initially available with the “Turbo look” wide-body style. The 1994 Speedster was designed to be a more focused “driver’s car” and served as a hybrid between a 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet and a 964 RS. While it featured a softer suspension set up than the 964 RS, it offered almost none of the comforts of a normal 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet, though power windows were standard and it was available with air conditioning and a stereo. Porsche planned to build 3000 examples of the 1994 Speedsters in 1992, but only 936 examples were built and sold during the two years of production. Right hand drive versions were exceptionally rare this time, with only 14 cars having the steering wheel on the ‘proper’ side compared to 139 examples in right hand drive of the G-Series 911 Speedster.

For both incarnations of the 964 Speedster the manually folding “pram-like” hood was a basic contraption that required practice to erect quickly (Porsche referred to it as strictly an emergency soft top for inclement weather).
This black Speedster is one of the 14 made in RHD. Super rare, awesome looking, amazing to drive, and hard to find. This car has only travelled 60,000 kms from new and was sold through Scuderia Veloce in NSW before making its way to Melbourne.
