- Porsche A/ Speedster Pics & Information

Despite looking outwardly similar to the preceding models, Porsche thoroughly updated their line in and called their new model the A. At the core, this included a larger cc engine, but also a curved-glass windshield and a thoroughly revised suspension. These were updated to better suit the improved gasoline and tire technologies of the period. With the A came a larger cc engine that had higher compression to take advantage of the available higher octane fuels.

Extensive testing by the experimental department known as Versuchsabteilung resulted in numerous suspension and drive line mounting changes before the final A specification was decided. They softened the springs by removing leaves from the torsion cars and fitted stiffer dampers. This was done to take advantage of a more modern tire technology which allowed for a smaller-diameter inch tire and a wider tread with reduced air pressures.

From the outside, the A kept to the Porsche mantra of stepwise evolution. The new model was outwardly identical to the previous version except for the wider tires, a small rub-strip below the doors, a fully-curved front window and enamel paint replacing lacquer previously used. Inside, Porsche fitted an all-new, flat-face dashboard that was sculpted around the new curved windshield. It included a padded-top, locking glovebox and a provision for a modern radio. Other interior appointments included a headlight flasher, automatic interior lighting, self-cancelling signal switches and, most importantly, a lower floor.

Popular options were a steering-wheel lock and a clock. At the Frankfurt Motor Show Porsche released the T2 body style with exhaust routing through the rear bumper over-riders.
