2019 911 Speedster Performance

At the heart of the Speedster is a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine with a massive rev range that extends to a stratospheric 9,000 rpm. Without a turbo, it relies more on power than torque to do its best stuff, which also explains the outputs of 502 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual and all that power going to the rear wheels requires you to get the timing right from the start, but if you do, the Speedster will hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. It's undeniably quick, but a base 911 Carrera will manage the same sprint time with the Sport Chrono Package. The Speedster is wonderfully flexible though: accelerating from 50 to 75 mph in fifth gear takes just 5.7 seconds, and it'll hit over 190 mph flat out. In short, we're happy to trade a few tenths to 60 mph for the instant throttle response and high-revving glee of that 4.0-liter gem.

Engine and Transmission

Derived from the GT3, the 4.0-liter flat-six engine is a masterpiece. It puts out 502 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque, with that peak power output only realized at a spine-tingling 8,400 rpm. Porsche fettled with some of the engine's internals, such as the high-pressure fuel injectors and the use of individual throttle bodies, squeezing a bit more power out of it while claiming improved efficiency. Not that fuel-saving will be on your mind as you work the accurate six-speed manual gearbox and explore the upper reaches of the rev band. This is a viciously quick car and it makes you work hard to extract the best out of it, but that only adds to the experience. Throttle response is instant and requires care so as to not upset the car's balance too much when accelerating mid-corner, but the linear manner in which the Speedster gathers speed and bounds past slower traffic is legendary and a perfect example of natural aspiration at its best. The manual gearbox has a solid, reassuring shift action and is coupled with a well-weighted clutch. Auto-blip rev-matching is fitted but can be disabled with a button on the center console if you so wish. Honestly, even Porsche's own brilliant PDK 'box isn't quite as satisfying as this.

2019 911 Speedster Gas Mileage

The 911 Speedster shares its addiction to premium gasoline with the GT3; these are the thirstiest models in the entire 911 range. The Speedster's EPA-rated economy numbers work out to 14/19/16 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. A 16.9-gallon gas tank equates to a combined cruising range of only 270 miles, but expect this number to plummet further if you often exploit the Speedster's available performance.
