My daughter and I had a pow wow and decided that a car as special as the speedster needs a little more pop in color. So when my dealership called me to ask if I was possibly interested in the red. I quickly asked my daughter if she might be interested in ...  

Wow. You might win me over to the world of cars eventually haha

I loved the carrera white, it looked clean, But the red is like driving around a model.

A Speedster is good in any color! I'd probably want one in some slightly fun color. Something light colored and fun. Maybe have to do Paint To Sample. GT Silver isn't bad neither, a bit conservative, but not bad.

But I'm not complaining. I love the guards red. Hopped in, and ripped about 80 miles of road when I left the dealership.

All the VIP are trading them in it seems, hopefully not to cover margin 🤣 Looks spot on Jorge. Enjoy 👍

I think these will eventually be gobbled up and it will then follow the trajectory of the 911 R, 997 4.0 RS, CGT and 918 with time. This will unequivocally be the last NA speedster they offer with emissions tightening. If you think they are pricey now wai... 

I don't anticipate a significant decrease and will hold like all limited and gt3 variants. It's just interesting that 2 came in within a month or so. Was joking that the VIPs (those who had 918 factory order) both sold to cover equities. I hope!

Then maybe more of us mere mortals might have a shot at the limited editions at list. Although the current environment has everything asking over list including base Carrera's.

It allows the ability to reset everything and allow new collectors a crack at getting some special cars.

I would just think it’s risk to have VIPs of my brand be miffed at me. But it sounds like these were special case VIPs based on the 918…which eventually started to annoy other true VIPs, if I’m not mistaken. Again, credit to Porsche.

At the time they weren't all sold and as incentive were given first right off refusal of any limited porsche for 10 years.

I respect that from them, although I wish they would crack down on dealerships charging ADM. Hell, have it be a random drawing for qualified buyers for the special cars. I'm all for that, at least everyone get's a shot. I placed an order for a 992.2 TTS a... 

Enjoy

So you simply swapped the white one for this red, or was there an added premium?

A good buddy car collector friend of mine asked me what my wife thought? He said please tell me she hates it, because if she does then you bought well. I told him my wife always hates every car I buy so I'm always buying well

I think it is wife DNA 😁

But fortunately for me it's isolated to cars, she can care less about the watches.

Admittedly, I would have kep the white one, but I'm boring like that x)).... I also love that it has black wheels, others would not go as well with the red.... Cheers, Filip

I actually really loved the Carrera white metallic. However, this one had deviated stitching in red, fire extinguisher in red, seatbelts in red so the added little touches pushed me over.

On a car like that, the details can truly make a tangible difference!
