Luca Trazzi's Bespoke Type-993 Speedster Is A Reminder Of Why This Forbidden Fruit Is Such A Big Deal

Unveiled at Monterey Car Week, we explore Porsche Sonderwunsch's latest creation and other custom-builds based on the 993 chassis

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.
