Haters gonna hate. You probably won't care...
Of course, the upside is that the GTS will gently depreciate to the point where a mere mortal might consider it attainable, and chances are it will earn more affection from its owner than most Speedsters ever will - if only because the GTS is almost certain to accrue many more miles.
Obviously, there are more than a few people with pockets plenty deep enough to blithely shrug off the implications of frequent use, but they tend to be the sort of people who aren’t accustomed to the idea of a ‘daily’ in the first place - unless we’re talking about helicopters. No, whether by choice or circumstance, most Speedsters will seldom see the light of day. And while there are many more things to mourn or care about at the moment, that does seem a shame.
Or rather, Porsche Motorsport did. The department responsible for every GT-badged model is not accustomed to half measures, and while it is compromised by definition, the Speedster doesn’t drive like a car burdened with many. It was fascinating at the launch to learn that the team had been kicking around the concept for years, and that it started life with no roof whatsoever.
It does this about as well as any convertible you’d care to imagine. Sure, there are prettier alternatives; certainly lighter ones, with larger engines. But the best performance cars are typically about cohesiveness, and the constituent parts of the Speedster go together like a Dire Straits album. It goes about its business so well that you even forget the nagging suspicion that a GT3 shorn of the roof probably shouldn’t be considered a GT3 at all, no matter how fast or feelsome.
