Porsche 911 Speedster 991 generation

Is there such a thing as a GT3 cabriolet? Sort of, the 991 Speedster is pretty much that.

This might be my favourite 911. It looks slightly awkward with the roof up, but with the roof down, goodness gracious it's beautiful! Thank you once again for the excellent video, Nick!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Sooo true, they had a couple of these at my local dealer over the last year...I've got a couple vid clips of it on my channel, but it's gorgeous with the roof down, meh with the roof up.

[@AB0BA_69]

I don't get it... A soft top compromises body rigidity and handling. Why would anyone buy a compromised 911? If someone wants a roadster then just buy a Boxster...

[@SomeGuysGarage]

@@AB0BA_69 it's pretty, it sounds good, open air is fun...and so on

[@NickMurray]

🛑 Just to correct a mistake I made in this video. The car actually has 7000 miles AND while a 2019 model it was built in 2020

[@NickMurray]

@@droptopdan Dan that is not correct, they started the factory back up again after loosing some of those Speedsters to the sea and this particular one rolled off the factory floor in 2020 👍

[@JundaComputersGmbH]

I wish EA could do a Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed 4k remastered for PC/PS5/XBXS! And make Nick Murray a playable character in the storyline of the game! 😂

[@dhananjayringe]

He'll be even better than frank. Factory driver, evolution mode.

[@treedeblue]

Hilarious!

[@lollypop9580]

"A solid 5/10" in the character description.

[@mikaelgaspar9547]

EA and Porsche wouldn't take such a risk! Imagine the frustrating experiences all the characters in the game would face while driving Porsches previously owned by Nick Murray's character. The player too! Congratulations! You won Nick Murray's car. I am sure it is broken! Can i have a refund? Please!!! Of course Nick's character would be constantly in trouble too, with his Porsches constantly breaking down during races giving Porsche a bad reputation. I don't know if you all already know but the BMW M3 that broke down in Need for Speed Most Wanted was previously owned by Nick. Nick before owning Porsches used to have BMW's, different brands the same problems, welcome to the Nick Murray's experience!

[@thomasfarias3146]

😂yes please

[@bria52003]

sir.blau's speedster is a sight to behold and is even more remarkable in person. Truly an amazing machine (with a great owner).

[@jdkroh]

Porsche Omaha had one in their showroom in October. Silver, gold rims, Heritage decal package. Listed for about $450k or so. Beautiful up close. Glad you got to drive one!

[@emmanuelapac3315]

I have never seen 1 of these ever...lovely car indeed. Thanks for sharing

[@Balo657]

The sound of that 4.0 with the top down must be amazing

[@treedeblue]

Dr Murray lots of folks on the various Porsche forms are angry at your 911 turbo S review. I agree with u good sir! 😃 although, Mozart is bit too much lol! Try some Schumann next time.

[@rc51bigdaddy]

Beautiful car. As you mentioned, next level detail on that one.

[@andyjackson5404]

Is Seinfelds speedster tiptronic ? Like his 993’s …. Ridiculous. Sport cars have 3 pedals on the floor.

[@hbullock]

As epic as it is, it is cursed with the 911 cab body proportions. (In my visual estimation, at least) Bloated back half. Enter the spyder, and eventually, the spyder rs. Perfection. YMMV.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Agreed

[@DavidRamseyIII]

Wow that paint is beautiful. Totally worth paying up the arse for it. The owner has taste. And a healthy taxable income

[@An.Individual]

Video began with a nice car then we see duffus driving it and everything is ruined.

[@NickMurray]

If only we could get me off this channel

[@kishan.d.perera8161]

It had individual throttle bodies not seen in the 991.2 gt3 and gt3rs. This engine is what's on the current 992.1 gt3/RS

[@rmp5s]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the one. I love a TRUE sports car.

[@lu-hsipan9333]

Nick, will you by any chance review the 911 Dakar? I want to see you driving a 911 in the dirt instead of the highway 😂. By the way, is that custom wheel from Porsche’s “special wish” program or after market? Cheers!

[@bokiNYC]

It's a signature edition special unicorn sprinkled with stardust $35k option.

[@JJFLD]

This exact Speedster is the epitome of my net worth is infinitely larger than yours, and I absolutely love it. Just an exquisite configuration.

[@keadog1838]

Numeric shifter really helps "regular" 911s.

[@DrivenNotHidden]

This one has it 😊

[@1855Media]

Unpopular opinion- the rear proportions of this generation 911 Speedster look a little weird. The 718 Spyder is the prettier of the open top cars that come from Porsche's GT department.

[@edjohn4590]

Nick churning out videos like it’s Christmas

[@herb4991]

Dr Murray, had no idea these existed aside from of course the 356. Thanks for the history lesson!

[@guss2099]

If I had the money, I’d buy one yesterday! 😬👍🏼 And I’d drive it everyday!😀😀😀

[@TheChismillionaire]

Seriously Nick, this car by itself turns you from a solid 5/10 to scintillating 9/10.

[@biznatcho7]

I see one of these at work occasionally and had no idea it was so special. The SCR crew regularly talk about how the Speedster is one of the best cars in Zuckerman’s collection, too.

[@danfreeney7656]

Yet again, Mr Nick Murray brings us a beautiful PORSCHE sports car however, could he consider a review on the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0? Big hugs.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

WHAT a beautiful car! Wow - this is a R rated movie is it? Yummy !

[@nycshelbygt500]

WHY IS NICK SCREAMING??? Another top down Porsche review in the New England Winter/Fall. Paid extra $$$$$ for those wheels...Yikes.

[@johnrb9397]

Nice to see frequent car content again!

[@charleshodgson3669]

Hello nick. I desperately need your opinion on a LIFE OR DEATH situation. One year ago, my parents paid for a new car of my choice as a graduation present. I picked a base model macan with a few quirky options, such as the compass, and rear window shades, but spent the rest of the budget on adaptive cruise control and the pano roof. If you were a 24 year old owning a brand new macan without any debt, would you sell it for something more interesting like a lotus esprit or a 997 911, or would you keep the macon and buy something like a miata?

[@NickMurray]

It depends a bit where you live and if you are really a car person or not. The Macan will be a good comfortable and easy ownership where as other options you list will be very high cost for you going forward. Unless you hate it I would keep the nice gift you parents gave you.

[@charleshodgson3669]

@@NickMurray Thanks so much for the reply!

[@Ztandard32]

I really like the smooth line at the back of the car with the open top speedster. Beautiful. A normal 911 convertable with the roof down always looks a bit crappy. Well apart from your one of course - that would be like slagging off your grandad.

[@alanbooth7280]

What a beautiful car. Great review thank you

[@PCBetter]

Looks like a numeric short shifter is installed?

[@NickMurray]

Correct.

[@timmietz]

Gorgeous car! The question is this or a 991.2 GT2RS? I can only afford one….

[@cjmahoney]

Where in CT are you? I'm in the Old Saybrook area - have a 2018 911 4S (sound familiar) and am looking for other Porsche drivers...

[@mark82421]

Great video Nick ! love the car ! regards from Stonehaven Scotland.... (where it is freaking cold at the moment even my Cayenne Coupe will stay on the drive)🥶🥶🥶

[@thomasr.6215]

Great thank to you for answering the never asked question if unicorns are shaved round their second horn.

[@DreamDosage]

If they could figure a way to eliminate that "hump back" look in the back... it'd be perfect.

[@ChoPi-Eww]

The fall foliage is a nice touch. Peak colors, peak 911 Speedster

[@TommyLGarage]

Wayyyyy to expensive for my taste. Buuuuut also the sexiest 991 ever made! Also - I like the new video format. Seeing less of Nick is always a plus! :)

[@NickMurray]

Less Nick is more

Right. Investment only. Otherwise, who needs a topless $400k GT3?

[@nebsampson8991]

Just a ~6 week turnaround from filming to upload. Nick runs an extremely efficient operation

[@phwhitefly]

Mere mortals will never get a chance of owning one of these, the best we can hope for is a Boxster Spyder RS. This is truly a work of art and modern engineering combined.

[@dragunovful]

They had one out here in Rocklin (California). That thing was gone pretty quickly lol.

Nick, You make the best Porsche videos … it’s that simple….🙏💜⭐️🎄🌎😇 JimmyUSAF 🇺🇸✈️

[@jimmyamico4713]

Nick, I am looking at all the different models of the Porsche 911 and it seems to me the best models for someone on a budget would be the 911 Carrera S and the 911 Carrera 4S what two models do you think are the best for someone on a budget , I would rather to be honest with you have four-wheel-drive than 2 Wheel Dr., because I drive in all types of weather… please give me your detailed input when you get a chance I know you’re busy. I have four German Shepherd‘s and I love them to death. I love your dogs and I love your Porsche anyway keep up the good work if I don’t hear from you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2023 you truly are the best when it comes to Porsche videos.

[@limegpt]

Closest thing to this for regular people is the 718 Spyder. The Speedster is way too rare and expensive

[@knn3th]

Time to spend some of your hard earned dollars on a good ol' microphone wind muff. Great vid anyways!

[@nirszi]

Unpopular opinion, I like the convertible rear hump much more than the speedster rear hump.

[@davidryan9342]

Nick what will be the next model number after the 992? How are they selected?

[@markmedley6849]

I love this car. Way more than Seinfeld’s outdated car.

[@dp2901]

Mid engine Boxster speedster is a gorgeous ride and way more accessible!

[@Poorschedriver]

I've never understood the speedster, always seemed ugly and overpriced.... until this generation. Your friend Joe know's how to spec a car, that's aboslultey stunning. Such a classy spec. And like you said, topless GT3 with the body lines of a boxster spyder, sign me up!

Hey Nick! Have been watching your Porsche videos for some time now. Great job. Would like to suggest making a few videos on Porsche track days and or Porsche club racing. I think it may be fun for your viewers. Would be happy to help!

It’s a 991R cab more than a GT3 cab IMO. Same CF hood, fenders, motor, bespoke interior dials, etc…. I bought one last summer, it’s my 10th GT product and I can say it’s a keeper. Absolutely special car.
