The last time Porsche offered a 911 Speedster was back in 2010; that's the model pictured here. However, the German automaker has a thing for [nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-luxury-car) and also knows that people will happily snap up any version of the 911 they can get their hands on. The new Porsche 911 Speedster is rumored to make its debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show this fall. Details aren't known yet, but expect it to feature a unique body style and possibly a slightly tweaked engine. The last time the 911 Speedster was built only 365 were made. This new version should be similarly rare. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Convertible Revivals:** The revival of iconic convertible cars offers opportunities for companies to tap into the nostalgia of automotive enthusiasts. - **Nostalgic Designs:** Embracing nostalgia in car design can attract customers seeking iconic and retro-inspired vehicles. - **Limited Edition Models:** Producing limited edition vehicles like the Porsche 911 Speedster can create exclusivity and high demand among collectors. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can capitalize on the demand for revival models by creating modernized versions of iconic convertible cars. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods companies can collaborate with automakers to create limited edition convertible cars that combine style and craftsmanship. - **Collectibles:** Collectible car companies can market rare and limited edition models like the Porsche 911 Speedster to enthusiasts and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Reimagined Luxury Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/964-cabriolet.md) - [Designer-Honoring Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/911-gt3-90-f-a-porsche.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-australia.md) - [Remade Classic Car Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-club-coupe.md) - [Memorialized Convertible Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cayenne-convertible.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md) - [Aerodynamic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-911-gt3-rs.md) - [Vintage All-Electric Restomods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quintessenza-rs.md) - [Premium Sporty Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-taycan.md)
