Type 997. 408 bhp, 3,824 cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, seven-speed PDK transmission, front suspension with MacPherson struts and anti-roll bar and multi-link LSA rear suspension with anti-roll bar, and four wheel carbon-ceramic brakes. Wheelbase: 92.5 in.

Porsche unveiled its fourth-generation Speedster in 2010, to both celebrate Porsche Exclusive’s 25th anniversary and recall the image of Porsche’s popular 356 of the 1950s. Based on the rear-wheel-drive Type 997.2 GTS, the new variant boasted an uprated 408 horsepower, 3.8-liter Variocam-Plus Type MA101 engine mated to Porsche’s seven-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission, which sent power to a limited-slip differential. The new Speedster also included Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Carbon-ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as standard equipment. Spoked black alloy wheels were shod with high-performance 235/35ZR19 and 295/30ZR19 tires. Equipped with Sport Chrono-Plus, the Speedster was capable of quite extraordinary performance: 0–60 mph in just over four seconds, and 190 mph on the track.

Like previous Speedster models, the new version was strictly a two-seater, with luggage space behind the front seats covered by the now-familiar hump-backed tonneau. This limited-production car is a product of Porsche's Exclusive Department, which means some very unique features were fitted, including a 77-mm shorter windscreen, the wider rear hips of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and Turbo models, deletion of the rear seats, "Speedster humps" covering the rear deck, Fuchs-style wheels, contrasting leather seats, custom speedster sill plates, door pulls, and a host of other details.

The new 997 Speedster was offered in either Pure Blue or Carrera White with a black canvas folding “Emergency” top. All were lavishly trimmed in full leather, down to the door closure straps and flaps on the air-conditioning vents and special color-coordinated checkered-flag panels in the centers of the adaptive sports seats. The exterior featured tinted front lights, black headlight rings, a black windshield frame, and other black trim. Special sill covers announced to those entering the car exactly what they were getting into, and the Speedster logo also appeared on the parking brake lever and seatback upholstery.

Only 356 numbered examples were built by Porsche Exclusive. Many were snapped up by owners of earlier-generation Speedsters and vanished into private collections. There were only 356 of these cars made for the global market, and this is number 131 of 356.

Purchased new by its first and only owner this car is finished in Pure Blue with only 13,122 miles showing on the odometer. Accompanied by a clean CarFax report this limited edition Porsche is ready for its next caretaker.
