2011 Porsche 911 (997) Speedster Rendered

Price DOES NOT MATTER on a car like this. If you're going to get a Speedster, you get a Speedster. Not something else. This car isn't meant to be the best looking, or the fastest Porsche ever. It's meant to be a very exclusive car, that will go to people's collections. Porsche doesn't care about the money mad on these cars. They will probably all be sold out within the first few days of production though. You're missing the purpose of this car.

@ porschecarreragt...I agree on your points, but the similarities to the clubsport are too subtle to make it "special", but then again their isn't much imagination left to remodel the 911! it's not like they're gonna put rounder headlights.

@jerry Well, you also have to remember, in 20 years, the normal 997 won't be worth very much, but the Speedster and Sport Classic will be worth a very good amount of money.

I completely understand the purpose of this car. It's just poorly executed in my opinion. What is it exactly that makes this car exclusive besides the wheels and the speedster name? Then again, this is only a rednering and I'm sure (I hope) the finished product will look more the part, but other exclusives had something, well, exclusive to offer. The One-77, for instance, ugly or pretty (I personally think it looks spectacular), certainly looks more unique than other Aston Martins, and has the performance as well. Not to mention that everything aside from the steering wheel is pretty much bespoke to the One-77. Another one is the LF-A: nothing like an ordinary Lexus. Even Porsche's own Sport Classic, has the ducktail, which I believe is worth 35% of the car itself. Another is the Balboni--the only current generation Lamborghini to offer only RWD and 6-Speed manual. Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black, Scuderia 16M, Enzo, (the list goes on and on), were all exclusive cars and therefore all offered something exclusive, whether in performance or styling. What does this offer, besides exclusivity? I firmly believe that an exclusive car should offer something more than just being exclusive. What makes a Speedster that much more special than a normal Porsche Cabriolet? Moreover, what makes a Speedster, a Speedster? The 356A Speedster offered something more over the standard 356A, namely performance that made it a proper speedster in its time. Prove me wrong and I'll stand corrected.
