Porsche engineers picked the wrong day to take the top down on this car.  When the Porsche Boxster Speedster was caught on camera with the top open for the first time, the Nürburgring was besieged with rain.

Although the last Speedster trimline came on the 911 line, this latest prototype is concealing the Speedster's classic double humps behind the headrests along the rear deck. As the camouflage indicates, we could expect to see those rises stretch back towards the end of the car.

A Boxster Speedster has been speculated for quite some time now, with many thinking it would be introduced at Frankfurt.  Now the hope would be that Porsche gets this ready in time for either Los Angeles, Detroit, or Geneva.  If they get the car out there by the end of the year, they can claim that it is celebrating the Speedster's 55th anniversary.

The Porsche Boxster Speedster could potentially get Porsche's six cylinder, 3.4-liter engine that produces 299 horsepower.

would be great if they use the 3.8l Carrera S engine on this , it will be a limited production car anyway.

Pardon my ignorance, but other than "double humps", what's the difference from this and a S?

A first for the current facelifted Boxster, but true there have been many limited edition Porsches in the past few years...

By the way, how many limited editon 987 Boxsters have there been? I remember three from the pre-facelift 987 Boxster lineup.

1. Design Edition 2

2. "Orange" limited edition

3. RS60 Spyder

the speedster is nothing new for Porsche , they make special anniversary editions for their most loyal customers.
