Porsche’s 70-Year History Summarized in a Sportscar

The Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer Porsche is celebrating its 70th anniversary with the new 911 Speedster Concept. This model pays homage to early race cars with the traditional GT silver and white color schemes, the 50s-style central fuel tank cap positioned in the middle of the front bonnet, the classic Talbot shape of the exterior mirrors and the unique design of the main headlights. The speedster has a broad body, borrowed from the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, and the interiors boast bucket seats, made of carbon, and the light brown Aniline leather covers in Cognac 356 from the car’s classic predecessors. The six-cylinder flat engine in this minimalist concept delivers over 500 hp and reaches speeds of up to 9,000 rpm.
