The VIN for the car is the final one assigned for any 991 Generation 911 car and is also one of a limited run of only 1948 Speedsters built. Speedster cars have suspension that is based on the set up found in the Porsche 911 GT3. The Heritage Design Package that has details are meant to remind of the motorsports history of the brand.

The car has a black fabric roof in case the driver and passenger get caught in the rain. Power is from a 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The car is crossing the auction block with no reserve via an online-only auction running between April 15 and 22nd.
