2010 Porsche 911 Speedster Brochure
Against the stripped-down roadster competition of 2010—where Porsche's own Boxster and Cayman fought for sports-car dollars—the Speedster claimed a different territory entirely.

2022 Porsche 911 Sport Classic Brochure
The 2022 Sport Classic arrived as a mechanical throwback dressed in contemporary engineering. Its 3.7-litre flat-six produced 510 horsepower through a seven-speed manual transmission—a choice that defied the automatic-only trend sweeping the segment.
