They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicles. To the extent that the values are given as ranges, they do not relate to a single, individual car and are not part of the offer. As all new cars offered by Porsche are type approved in accordance with the WLTP, the NEDC values are therefore derived from the WLTP values. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary. Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC.Ĭurrently we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. As of 1 September 2018 the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). *Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. He then adds with a wide grin: “The Speedster will be 30 years old this year – I still need a signature from Beckenbauer for my classic car MOT.” The kids think it’s great when they are allowed to sleep outside in the caravan.”īut there is one long trip that still attracts him: “Perhaps I will drive down to Salzburg again soon,” says Schiersch. “But of course we always take the Hymer when we visit our grandchildren in Düsseldorf and Osnabrück. We prefer to stay here on the North Sea coast and enjoy the peace and quiet,” explains Schiersch, also in view of the 80 km/h speed limit when towing a caravan. “However, we no longer go on any extended trips with the trailer attached. “The Speedster will be 30 years old this year.” In order to create the perfect appearance for what is probably the only vehicle combination of its kind, he had the caravan painted in “Porsche 980, Silver Metallic” during restoration work so that it now matches the Speedster. Schiersch was in luck with the trailer hitch: there were just two retrofit kits still available worldwide for the G model series. Schiersch had the caravan painted in “Porsche 980, Silver Metallic”

Because the “Kaiser” did not have any autograph cards with him, Schiersch got the footballer to sign the back of his 911 Targa vehicle registration document. He already towed it many years ago with the Porsche 911 Targa he owned at the time – which incidentally as good as received its MOT from Franz Beckenbauer when Schiersch sat next to him on a flight from Bremen to Munich. Because his vehicle collection also includes a classic Hymer Eriba Puck caravan from 1975. You have to stay alert when driving, and best of all I like the feeling of being part of what is going on.”Īnd so that he really is well rested, Schiersch has added a special detail to his Speedster: a genuine Porsche trailer hitch. Driving a Speedster is just pure pleasure. "The most beautiful thing for me is still the noise of an air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine.

He adds that the pleasure he gets from driving the powerful 3.2 litre boxer engine with 231 PS is even greater that from his other cabriolets – his garage is also home to two British cars, a Morgan Plus 8 and an Aston Martin DB9 Volante. Schiersch: "Driving a Speedster is just pure pleasure." “The car was perfect, the Silver Metallic paint finish is not just timeless, but is much rarer than Guards Red, Black or Grand Prix White,” says Schiersch.

When the opportunity arose, he therefore did not think twice when an almost flawless 911 Speedster from the G model series was offered to him some years ago. From then on, he was addicted to pure and unfiltered driving pleasure. This was followed soon afterwards by his first open-top car. He then felt he could longer do without the rear engine, which had no power assistance. As a student, he then did various odd jobs to finance his first Porsche, a 356C with 75 PS. “We just grew up with these things at the time: double-declutching, adjusting the carburettor, welding the body yourself ready for the MOT.”Īs for so many, Schiersch’s love of air cooling started with a VW Standard. “It’s just the thing for old age,” he says, referring both to his Porsche and himself.

The original and genuine feeling, the manual gearshift – these are the things that constitute the appeal of his fully open-top 911.
