The Porsche Speedster is powered by a 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 435 hp (324 kW) at 7,800 rpm and 335 lb-ft (454 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, and there are three driving modes on offer: Composed, Sport and Sport Plus. It is mounted on wide Continental tires.

Although similar to the models produced by Gunther Werks for a long time, Speedster has a slightly larger wheelbase, front and rear roll bars, adjustable suspension, carbon fiber front spoiler, centrally placed exhaust pipes, redesigned rear tail, revised differential.

The guys from YouTube channel TheSmokingTire tested the car on the road. The first thing they noticed was that the controls were havy and the clutch was nice and smooth. Overall, they were pleased with the vehicle’s performance.
