Porsche 911 'G-Body' Speedster
The G-Body Speedster wasn’t just a limited-production sports car. It became a car admired by celebrities, musicians, and Hollywood actors alike. Over the years, it found its way into the garages of high-profile enthusiasts, some of whom helped cement its legendary status.
Few Hollywood stars are petrolheads quite like Paul Walker. Best known for his role in the Fast & Furious franchise, Walker’s love for high-performance vehicles extended well beyond the screen. His personal collection featured an impressive lineup of Porsches, including his beloved G-Body Speedster.
Another name deeply tied to the rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic of the Speedster is Slash, the legendary guitarist of Guns N’ Roses. Known for his raw energy on stage and signature top hat, Slash owned a triple black 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster, a car that perfectly mirrored his rebellious, high-octane persona.

In 1989, Porsche revived the Speedster name with the introduction of the 911 Speedster. This model was based on the 911 Carrera 3.2, which was part of the G-body series produced from 1984 to 1989. The 1989 Speedster was designed as a tribute to the original 356 Speedster, combining some of its classic design cues with the 911 body. The 911 Speedster featured a low-cut windshield, a double-bubble rear hump, and a manually operated soft top. These design elements were inspired by the 356 Speedster and gave the car a distinctive look. The interior was also simplified, with the rear seats removed to save weight. Under the hood, the 911 Speedster was powered by a 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, which produced 217 horsepower. The engine was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and had a top speed of 240 km/h. The 1989 Speedster was produced in 2,104 units, of which 823 were shipped to the United States. Porsche also offered a “Turbo Look” variant (M491), which featured wider fenders, larger wheels, and a more aggressive appearance inspired by the 911 Turbo.

According to Porsche records, this Speedster left the factory in Stuttgart on June 1, 1989, and was originally delivered to a German owner. The first owner selected several factory options, balancing comfort and performance, including electronically height-adjustable seats, an upgraded battery, adjustable seat heating, an alarm system, and the manual gearbox.
The car remained with its original German owner for most of its life before being sold in France in 2016. Despite its age, it has been kept in remarkably original condition, with its factory paintwork, body, and interior well-preserved. The preserved paintwork makes it a rare find, as many classic Porsches have undergone refinishing over time.
