			* The 2010 [[Paris Motor Show]] hosted the world premiere of the Speedster's resurrection, last seen on the [[Porsche 964\|964 generation]] 911. Officially, the Speedster will be the 20th 911 variant in the current range. As is the case with the Porsche's Speedster models, the new car will feature a chopped down appearance: the windscreen is 60mm lower and more rakish and the rear stance is 44 millimeter wider to enhance the "squat" look. Power comes from the 3.8 litre Flat-6 but tweaked to develop 408 hp. Further changes include a bespoke front spoiler, specific side-skirts, a distinct rear apron, tinted front lights, black headlight surrounds, black windscreen border, Fuchs-style rims and color-coordinated black stone guards ahead of the rear wheels. Porsche developed an exclusive "Pure Blue" finish for the Speedster but, upon request, the car is also available in Carrera White, at no extra cost. Interior modifications are limited to the specific color and trim options such as the black leather upholstery with color-keyed elements. Production is limited to just [[Porsche 356\|356]] units. In Germany, the 911 Speedster is priced at €201,682 (about US$263,700), while in the UK, pricing is set at £144,100 (USD$224,700 or €171,900).

	* For 2010, Porsche has unveiled the 250 unit limited edition '''911SC (Sport Classic)''' which takes the standard engine and adds 23 more horsepower for a total of 403 hp. The new variant is also significant for being the first 911 to sport the iconic "ducktail spoiler" from the legendary Carrera RS 2.7. Other special touches include Fuchs-style 19-inch wheels designed that evoke the last 911SC of the late Seventies and early Eighties and an interior finished in Espresso Nature natural leather and the use of new materials to the marque, including woven leather/yarn seat panels. Pricing starts at €169,300 ($240,702 USD) before VAT.[http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/02/frankfurt-preview-limited-edition-porsche-911-sport-classic-mar/]		* For 2010, Porsche has unveiled the 250 unit limited edition '''911SC (Sport Classic)''' which takes the standard engine and adds 23 more horsepower for a total of 403 hp.

The GT3-RS

The 997's predecessor took the GT3 concept further, with the more extreme GT3-RS, which proved hugely popular, selling out is limited production run in a matter of months. Porsche announced the '''997 GT3-RS''' in late 2006, and it went into production in early 2007.

	The RS badge is derived from ''Rennsport'', the German for 'motor sport' - and as such, the GT3-RS is the most track-focussed 997 yet. Developed for the road by Porsche Motorsport, it is also fully prepared for competition use. Every detail is geared for racing, from the special suspension setup to weight-saving components in the gearbox, rear screen and carbon-fibre wing. The RS utilises the body shell from the Carrera 4 models, and is such 44 mm wider across the rear hips, giving the car a suitably different look to the GT3. Every GT3-RS is sold with a two-tone paint scheme, with colours such as Signal Orange and ~~Viper~~ Green, along with contrasting decals and wheels, designed to evoke the glory days of the RS.

	The GT3-RS is fitted as standard with lower sports suspension with PASM, the Clubsport pack featuring carbon seats and a full rear rollcage and Porsche's innovative carbon-ceramic brake discs (PCCB). Unlike the 996 GT3-RS, the 997 version is not built to a limited production run, nor is it the 'run out' version for the GT3.
