FAQ
Speedster vs Sport Classic?
Both use the 408 hp GTS/X51 engine. The Speedster is the open-top, PDK-only, 356 units. The Sport Classic is the ducktail coupé, manual-only, 250 units. Different body, different gearbox, both collector halos.
Why collectible?
Tiny run, hand-built, iconic Speedster lineage and the striking Pure Blue launch colour.
Driving Experience
GTS pace with open-air drama and a unique, lowered Speedster stance. A boulevard cruiser and a collector piece more than a track tool, but quick and characterful with the X51 engine.
