Porsche 993 Speedster: The 911 That Skipped Mainstream Production
The Speedster is one of the purest body styles of the Porsche 911
The Speedster was always meant to be a lightweight, open-top cruiser
The Speedster body style was introduced with the Porsche 356 back in 1948
The most distinctive feature of the Porsche Speedster is the steeply raked windshield and lack of convertible top
While the Speedster has existed across several generations of the 911, the 993 was not one of them
Officially, there was never a production variant of the 993 Speedster
But in 1995, Porsche built one for "Butzi" Porsche's 50th birthday
"Butzi" 993 Speedster was the only one that started life as a Speedster under Porsche
The only "true" 993 Speedster features a narrow body
The car's exterior is finished in Aventura Green
The 17-inch silver Carrera wheels complement the exterior paint
Inside, you get an RS interior with walnut finishes on the dash
At its heart lies a 3.6-liter flat-6, making 285 hp and 251 lb-ft
It was paired to a Tiptronic automatic transmission
To make the 993 Speedster, Porsche used parts from the 964 Speedster, of which 936 were built
A few other 993 Speedster conversions were done over the years, like Jerry Seinfeld's car, which started as a Carrera 4S Cabriolet
But "Butzi" Porsche's Aventura Green car remains the only 993 built as a Speedster from brand-new

Why Magnus Walker Daily Drives A 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Magnus Walker has a soft spot for air-cooled Porsches
The Poschephile says he likes his cars affordable, which means they don't, necessarily, need to be pristine examples
Walker acquired many of the cars in his collection for under $10,000
But his daily driver is something even he didn't expect to like at first
A high-mileage Porsche Turbo S sounds like a risky purchase, but not when it has been well-looked-after
Once a nearly $200,000 car, Magnus acquired this 2014 Turbo S daily driver for $60,000
The odometer shows 183,000 miles, most of which (159,000 miles) done by the original owner
The only visible sign of wear is the driver's seat, which really tells you Porsche 911s are built to last
The semi-usable back seats is where Magnus' dog, Willow, often, sits
The PDK transmission was changed at 120,000 miles, which cost the previous owner $30,000
This 991 Turbo S is Magnus' only Porsche that doesn't have a manual transmission
Swipe up to learn more about why he chose this modern-day Porsche as his daily driver.
