Porsche Unveils the 911 Speedster with Heritage Design Package
Just after Porsche announced the premiere of a new generation 911 Speedster, at the New York Motor Show, the German company presented the same car, but with an optional ‘Heritage Design Package’.
Developed by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur division, using the highest levels of craftsmanship, this aesthetic package refers to the Porsche roots with many classic-style design elements.
Available exclusively in combination with the Silver Metallic GT paint, as a tribute to the motorsport gold days, the front bumper and a front wing part are painted for white contrast. The “white” style of “gumball” on the hood and doors was inspired by the Porsche 356 historical models, the owners of which decorated them individually to participate in racing. These areas can be equipped with individual start numbers via Porsche Tech-equipment or the customer can order the vehicle without these stickers if desired.
The historic “Porsche” stickers along the sides of the car complement the classic exterior inspired look of the vehicle as well as the historic Porsche emblem on the front luggage compartment cover.
The 20-inch central locking wheels are painted here in the Platinum Satin color and can also be ordered in Silver. Like the front luggage compartment cover, they are also decorated with a historic Porsche logo.
The standard braces of the carbo-ceramic braking mechanisms are painted in black, while the “Porsche” inscription on them is white to match the classic look of the package. Other “Speedster” inscriptions on the body are finished in a golden color.
The interior of the new 911 Speedster with Heritage Design Package has a distinctly distinctive look, being leather-trimmed in two tones: Black and Cognac. The standard Full Bucket Seats are upholstered with Cognac leather and decorated with a historic Porsche logo embossed on the headrests. The seat backrests as well as decorative surfaces are painted in the exterior color of the car – GT Silver Metallic.
The Cognac color was also the choice for the 12-hour mark on the steering wheel and the leather covering the center armrest with the inscription “Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur”. Other “Speedster” emblems, as well as a limited representation of the limited edition, are finished in a golden color and further emphasize the Heritage Design Package features.
Exclusively for the owners, Porsche Design has created another Chronograph 911 Speedster Heritage Design watch with a titanium casing, carbon fiber and Cognac leather seams.
Please note that this special edition car will only be made in 1,948 copies and is retailing now from USD275,750.
