When Porsche unveiled the 1989 911 Speedster, it marked the return of the “Speedster” name after exactly 30 years, as the last one was the 1959 Porsche 356 Speedster. The new Speedster arrived at a very troubled time for Porsche. Prior to 1989, the company was doing pretty well, but the U.S. recession put the company into a lot of trouble. Launched as a limited edition, the 911 Speedster was supposed to re-launch the “Porsche” name in the minds of enthusiasts.
In 1989, the 911 Speedster was listed for around $65,000, but even so, Porche saw a huge demand for the car. Despite the big request, the company only built 2,104 units with 832 of them arriving in the States. One of these units, with only 1,409 miles on the odometer is now listed for sale by RM Sotheby’s at its future Monterey auction.
