Porsche 911 Speedster concept is so good, it’s going into production.

Some things are too good to leave as mere concepts, and so the stunning Porsche 911 Speedster is getting a highly limited production run as a sort of birthday present to the German automaker. Porsche took the wraps off the 911 Speedster concept study earlier this year, an open-top two-seater with some glorious features.

Indeed, much of the true appeal of the 911 Speedster was in the detailing. The “Talbot”-shaped side mirrors, for example, are like pretty much nothing else on a production car today, and gleam with their black chrome and platinum finish.

That same finish is used for the fuel tank cap, which is placed centrally on the hood of the car. 21-inch center lock wheels now get a cross-spoke design, which Porsche says is intended to be reminiscent of racing cars like the 911 RSR and the GT3 R. The same goes for the tinted daytime running lights, which are now finished in matching red with the new Guards Red paint-job of this Paris show car.
