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!
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.
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...
@@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 👍
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! 😂
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Props to the owner for driving, and letting you drive this beautiful car. Everyone else dropped theirs like a bad habit once the Spyder was handed over to the GT division. I forecast the 718 Spyders and and 991 Speedsters to both meet up around $200k depending on how many Spyders actually get built. If the Spyder RS gets the R treatment with a manual, that would have a shot at holding the crown of the best Porsche ever made, at least temporarily.
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)🥶🥶🥶
Thanks for very much for the video! It is a stunning car. And the engine soundtrack, right up there with the Mozart accompaniment. However I did miss the roast fat baby recipe which hopefully will be forthcoming. 😁😆🤣
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?
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.
Thought that was you pulled over on the side of 25. Too bad they chopped up the road with all those patches, though still a pretty decent piece of highway. Beautiful car.
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.
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!
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!
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.

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

sir.blau's speedster is a sight to behold and is even more remarkable in person. Truly an amazing machine (with a great owner).
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! 😂
He'll be even better than frank. Factory driver, evolution mode.
Hilarious!
"A solid 5/10" in the character description.

I have never seen 1 of these ever...lovely car indeed. Thanks for sharing
The sound of that 4.0 with the top down must be amazing
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!
Beautiful car. As you mentioned, next level detail on that one.
This exact Speedster is the epitome of my net worth is infinitely larger than yours, and I absolutely love it. Just an exquisite configuration.
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.
The fall foliage is a nice touch. Peak colors, peak 911 Speedster
Seriously Nick, this car by itself turns you from a solid 5/10 to scintillating 9/10.
Dr Murray, had no idea these existed aside from of course the 356. Thanks for the history lesson!
Nick churning out videos like it’s Christmas
Wow that paint is beautiful. Totally worth paying up the arse for it. The owner has taste. And a healthy taxable income
Nice to see frequent car content again!
Someone who's willing to enjoy a truly great car, well done.
The Speedster are pinnacle desirability. What an amazing experience you were able to enjoy. AWESOME!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the one. I love a TRUE sports car.
That classroom graphic with Professor Nick needs to have at least one person sleeping. Not me, of course! I was glued to the video.
I need a minute... That car is simply gorgeous. So precious.
Great thank to you for answering the never asked question if unicorns are shaved round their second horn.
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
beautiful shape
One of the most spectacular 911s you have ever featured Nick!!!
Thank you for sharing all your great reviews and passion
Top is a lot easier then I thought from just pics . Yeah this would be one to drive . 100% pure dose of the modern 911 experience .
Mid engine Boxster speedster is a gorgeous ride and way more accessible!

Your videos are always great. Thanks Nick.
Looks flat out amazing. It’s a shame Porsche don’t make more of them.
Gorgeous car! I never knew there was a speedster and now I want one
What a beautiful car. Great review thank you
Numeric shifter really helps "regular" 911s.
This one has it 😊
Nice model history and review.
Love your 911 convertible Nick so old school 👍
What a color and car! Leaf, you are my nemesis... 😆

Agreed
Phenomenal pretty car
Gorgeous car. Glad the owner uses it.
Looks amazing!
Those rims🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video love the history.
What a special car!
Very special car
They had one out here in Rocklin (California). That thing was gone pretty quickly lol.
Cool ride. Thanks
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.
If I had the money, I’d buy one yesterday! 😬👍🏼
And I’d drive it everyday!😀😀😀
Wow unreal car!

What a great video Nick and thank you for all the other videos
WHAT a beautiful car! Wow - this is a R rated movie is it? Yummy !
Just a ~6 week turnaround from filming to upload. Nick runs an extremely efficient operation
That's a beautiful car.
Really beautiful car!
Murray Mondays. Excellent.
Gorgeous car!!!
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)🥶🥶🥶
Just what I need on a Monday.
Video began with a nice car then we see duffus driving it and everything is ruined.
If only we could get me off this channel
991.2 is my favorite speedster. 997 speedster was pdk only. (I think). Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes the 997 Speedster sucked. 🤣
@@NickMurray Agreed 👍😂
Love your vids Nick! Pete from NZ.
Thanks for very much for the video! It is a stunning car. And the engine soundtrack, right up there with the Mozart accompaniment. However I did miss the roast fat baby recipe which hopefully will be forthcoming. 😁😆🤣
Need one...
Beautiful car, ❤
That’s a stunning car
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.

That color 😱
We need more Dr. Murray!❤
As a dog lover, should I be concerned about not seeing Tui? AMAZING car - but ya know, priorities. ;)
Funny thing is that I see this from Nick, day after I spied a Speedster just down the street from me…coincidence. And the similar PTS blue…wow
US Porsche site shows a 911 Dakar starting at $222,000! Looking forward to your thoughts.
Nick what will be the next model number after the 992? How are they selected?
Love it.
...Technicaly, James Dean's 550 was the first Speedster
but that didn't bare the name, so U're right 😋
Those are some fast leaves.
Whoa that’s a fast car Nick. The seats look beautiful and shifting so easy. Do you worry about your license?
I never got a license so it's fine
@@NickMurray Mad Lad Status: Confirmed
Nick, have you ever gone to a race track for a track day?
@@AB0BA_69 Yes I have made videos about track days and I had a track only car for a few years.
Nick, could you please do a Carrera T video? I’d love to hear your take on it.
No Alcantera?? 😢
⚠ Say no
100% positive, nice!
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...
Joe is one lucky guy.
Dr. Murray never wore gloves when he examined me... but I did't mind ;)
lovely
I did not know any of that
Gorgeous car! The question is this or a 991.2 GT2RS? I can only afford one….
Nick, did you ever do a video on the 911 R?
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!
It's a signature edition special unicorn sprinkled with stardust $35k option.
Could you tell me which wheels these are? Are they OEM Porsche? Thx.
Does anyone know where I can source those Fuchs style carbon fiber wheels?
Nick -- are you on Route 25?
Funny :), refreshing 911 review!
