Open-top driving pleasure combined with a leaner design has been part of Porsche’s DNA since 1952 when the 356 Speedster made its debut as the first vehicle from the brand to feature the distinctive Speedster look. Fast forward to 1994, Porsche enthusiasts were treated to a limited run of just 936 Speedsters based on the 964 Carrera 2 platform. An extraordinary variant of that model, 1 of just 15 ever built, is going to be auctioned soon.
Finished in Maritime Blue and adorned with a bespoke black and blue leather interior, the vehicle you see depicted in the gallery below is the so-called Mega Speedster by aftermarket specialist Vittorio Strosek. The exclusivity of this rare gem lies not only in its custom color scheme but also in its distinctive Strosek-designed widebody, complemented by poly-ellipsoid headlamps.
Under the hood, the heart of the car is a 3.6-liter, six-cylinder Boxer engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It’s not just about power, though – this Speedster benefits from a Strosek upgraded suspension system, sitting on 17-inch OZ wheels.
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by factory fixed-back Recaro bucket seats, finished in a blend of black and Maritime Blue. The interior boasts modern conveniences such as air conditioning, a Sony Bluetooth stereo, and a Strosek-branded tachometer. There are just 5,907 original miles on the odometer.
Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a clean CarFax, this exceedingly rare Strosek Mega Speedster takes its place in the Porsche Registry, a document of its esteemed pedigree. It will go under the hammer during Mecum Auction’s Kissimmee 2024 sale with an estimated auction price ranging between $300,000 and $350,000.
