Few silhouettes are as instantly recognisable as the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Speedster (964). Introduced in the early 1990s as a more purist and emotional interpretation of the 911, the Speedster revived the spirit of Porsche’s classic roadsters: lower, more minimalistic, and entirely focused on the joy of driving.
Rather than simply being another convertible version of the 911, the Speedster represented a distinct vision of the model. Its lower windscreen, the unmistakable double-hump rear cover behind the seats, and its strict two-seat layout gave the car a character closer to a collector’s piece than to a conventional sports car.
The example currently available on the Swiss market illustrates this philosophy perfectly. It is a 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Speedster, originally delivered new in Switzerland and preserved in remarkable condition.
A Swiss-delivered Speedster with only 4,800 km
This Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Speedster immediately stands out thanks to its history and exceptional state of preservation. Delivered new in Switzerland and remaining in the country since, the car has been part of a private collection, which explains its extraordinary mileage: only 4,800 original kilometres since its first registration in September 1993.
Finding a Speedster from this generation is already uncommon. Discovering one with such low mileage makes it particularly special within the Swiss classic car market.
The exterior is finished in black, a timeless configuration that perfectly highlights the clean lines of the 964 body. On the Speedster, these lines take on a distinctive character thanks to the lower windscreen and the iconic double-hump rear deck.
This profile is not merely aesthetic — it defines the car’s personality. The Speedster was designed to create a more direct connection between the driver, the road and the surrounding environment.
A black leather interior with distinctive details
Inside, the cabin maintains the same understated and purposeful character. The interior is trimmed in black leather, creating a classic and focused atmosphere consistent with the spirit of the car.
One particularly appealing detail of this example is the set of black leather seats with red stitching, a rare touch that introduces subtle contrast while preserving the car’s original aesthetic.
The cockpit layout reflects the traditional Porsche philosophy: a fully analogue instrument cluster dominated by the central tachometer, a simple steering wheel and an ergonomics concept entirely focused on the driver.
The leather bucket-style sports seats reinforce the car’s dynamic character, while the five-speed manual gearbox ensures an authentic and engaging driving experience.
In the Speedster, every element serves a single purpose: placing the driver at the centre of the experience.
The character of the Speedster: pure driving
Behind the rear cover sits the well-known 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 250 horsepower. This engine belongs to one of the last generations of air-cooled 911 powerplants before Porsche transitioned to newer architectures.
In the Carrera 2 Speedster, power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, reinforcing the purist nature of the car.
With a kerb weight of only 1,350 kg, the car retains the agility and balance that have made the 911 one of the most celebrated sports cars in automotive history.
Yet beyond the numbers, the Speedster offers something more emotional. With the roof open, every acceleration, every mechanical sound and every curve becomes part of a uniquely immersive driving experience.
It is precisely this sense of connection that has made the Speedster one of the most sought-after versions of the classic 911.
A rare opportunity in the Swiss collector market
The Porsche 911 Speedster of the 964 generation has always been highly desirable among collectors. Production numbers were relatively limited, and its unique design ensures that it stands apart within the long history of the 911.
On today’s market, finding a well-preserved example is already noteworthy. Finding one delivered new in Switzerland, showing only 4,800 km and preserved in near-new condition makes it particularly exceptional.
This car combines several characteristics that collectors actively seek:
- extremely low original mileage
- Swiss delivery and history
- classic black-on-black configuration
- outstanding state of preservation
More than thirty years after its introduction, the 911 Speedster still embodies the same philosophy that inspired its creation: a minimalist, driver-focused interpretation of the Porsche 911.
A car built to be driven — and equally worthy of a place in a carefully curated collection.
