The sale consists of the famous Porsche car company which has developed a modified version of its iconic 911 ‘Speedster’ model comprising the last chassis for the 991 models created by the brand.

In terms of design and finish, it incorporates a ‘Heritage’ pack (estimated at more than $24,000) including lateral graphics in metallic white paint to give a ‘GT’ look, a black dashboard to minimize reflections and fiber composite seats upholstered in Cognac leather.
