Porsche 911 Speedster - Storyboards

Luca Trazzi, a Speedster enthusiast, commissioned Porsche's Sonderwunsch program to build a custom 993 Speedster

The Speedster body style dates back to the 356 model and is characterized by an open-top design, short windshield, and lightweight construction

Porsche never officially produced a 993 Speedster due to financial constraints in the 1990s

Trazzi's 993 Speedster is based on a 1994 Carrera Cabriolet and features design elements inspired by the 993 Turbo

The car has a unique "Otto Yellow" paint job and a black leather interior with yellow and black chequered accents on the seats

The car's mechanical components are derived from the high-performance 993 Carrera RS,

It is powered by a 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six engine with 300 horsepower. It is mated to a 6-speed manual

There are only three officially recognized 993 Speedsters: one built for Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

The second one was a request from actor, Jerry Seinfeld

The third being Trazzi's recent creation

Other individuals and companies like Gunther Werks have created a handful of 993 Speedsters

Trazzi's car highlights the growing importance of Porsche's Sonderwunsch program for customized vehicles

Swipe up to take a closer look at the handful of 993 Speedsters in existence.

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
