Description

Chassis No. WP0ZZZ96ZRS455187

Unfettered. Unencumbered. Unrestrained. This 1994 911 Speedster is as intended, a compelling Rest-of-World Porsche devoid of Federally mandated US-spec equipment.

Based in the Porsche 964 that debuted in 1993, the third-generation Speedster features a distinct convertible body style that echoed the famed 1954 – '59 Porsche 356 model. The 964 introduced a larger 3.6-liter, air-cooled M64 SOHC flat-six engine delivering an impressive 247 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. A G50 five-speed transaxle transmission propels the rear wheels of most 964 Speedsters, aided by a revised onboard computer, 17-inch staggered alloy wheels, and optional limited-slip differential. Sizable four-piston calipers and cross-ventilated rotors at each corner back a multilink independent suspension featuring MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at back. The 964 platform provided the third generation Speedster with superior performance and driving dynamics along with improved aesthetics over the previous version, while filling the gap between the comfortable Carrera S2 cabriolet and track-focused Carrera RS. Although Porsche originally planned to build 3,000 examples of the 964 Speedster, by the end of production in 1994, only 936 had been created.

This French-market Speedster is one of just 467 Rest-of-World examples created. The Porsche Register in 2018 reports S455187 as "superb and as new" with French permanent number plate DX 155 QY. Discerningly optioned with the desirable "narrow-body" specification, five-speed manual transaxle, and limited-slip differential, and finished in Black Metallic (L744/Z8) with Black leather interior, it was sold in France from the Eric Coicaud Collection in July 2019, and first registered in the United States in March 2023 with a Florida title. Showing under 23,000 kilometers (approximately 14,290 miles), this is a rare opportunity to experience the Porsche 964 Speedster - unfettered and in wonderful condition throughout.
