Porsche unveils 4th-Gen Speedster

Porsche's latest car is the Speedster 356. It is like the original speedster built in 1953. There will be only 356 cars made. The car is a two seater and comes standard with a convertible top. It comes with a V6 3.8 litre with 408 horsepower and a seven speed semi-automatic transmission. Instead of using plastic side windows and other things used to minimize weight, like the original, the new Porsche uses technology to get its performance. Both the original and the new speedsters have high resale values. There is no word on pricing in the U.S. but the German version sells for 202,000 euros. Some of the technologies used are the active suspension management system to keep the car stabil at high speeds and in cornering.
