Since Porsche owes a not insignificant part of its legendary reputation to the Speedster legend, it is all the more interesting to take a look at the entire history! It begins with a meeting between Professor Ferdinand Porsche and the US importer Max Hoffman at the Paris Motor Show in 1950 and ends with the latest Porsche Speedster in 2020.
In a detailed interview, Porsche veteran Herbert Linge reports on the creation of the 356 Speedster, which was urgently requested from the USA. The conquest of the most important sales market for Porsche to this day could begin.
Almost 30 years later, Porsche was reminded of the sales success of the 356 Speedster in the USA and the image boost from that time. In his interview, Friedrich Bezner, who became project manager for the Porsche 911 in 1979, talks about the creation of the first 911 Speedster prototype in 1982, when not even the Board of Management was in the loop.
Bernd Kahnau, project manager of the first 911 Speedster from 1989, also shares his memories of the modern era of the Porsche Speedster with our readers.
