2011 Porsche 911 Speedster with 2,900 Miles Returns to Auction

A rare 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster with 2,900 miles reappears on Bring a Trailer after a previous $275,000 bid. Explore details and auction context.

A 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster with just 2,900 miles has returned to Bring a Trailer — marking a second attempt to sell the same car after bidding reached $275,000 in April 2024 without a deal.

This example is number 273 of only 356 units produced for the model year. The limited run was deliberately chosen as a reference to the original Porsche 356 Speedster, and the model itself was introduced as part of the 25th anniversary of Porsche Exclusive. That context places it well beyond a typical 911 Cabriolet, positioning it as a distinct chapter in the brand’s modern history.

The specific car amplifies that significance through its configuration. Finished in Pure Blue — a color created exclusively for this model — it carries visual cues that immediately set it apart from other 997-generation 911s. A more steeply raked windshield, widened rear bodywork, and the signature twin-hump rear cover echo classic Speedster design language.

Mechanically, the car is closely related to the Carrera GTS, featuring a 3.8-liter flat-six producing 408 horsepower paired with a PDK dual-clutch transmission. It also includes high-end factory equipment such as Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, the Sport Chrono Package, Bose audio, and PCM navigation, reinforcing its position as a fully specified special model rather than a cosmetic edition.

The low mileage remains one of its defining traits. The seller notes that only a handful of miles were added under current ownership, preserving the car in near-original condition. Supporting that is a complete set of documentation, including the original window sticker listing a price of $205,840 at delivery through a Porsche dealership in Virginia.

This particular Speedster is not new to the auction scene. After its previous appearance in 2024 failed to meet reserve, the car changed hands and has now returned to the market. Discussion around the listing has included questions about ownership history, though the current documentation confirms a clean Carfax report.

The return of this car highlights a broader point: even among rare, low-mileage Porsche Speedsters, final values remain actively tested in public auctions. As one of the most limited modern Speedster variants, this example now serves as a visible benchmark for how the market continues to assess highly specific 997-era collector cars.
