Prototype: Tuning Speedster based on the 964 series

This model is inspired by the Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster, a conversion based on the Porsche 911 of the 964 generation. That series was built from 1989–1994 and replaced the 930‑generation 911. Technically the 964 brought major changes like coil springs instead of torsion bars, ABS, power steering and a modernized aerodynamics with integrated bumpers. Under the body sat the air‑cooled 3.6‑liter (0.95 US gallons) six‑cylinder M64 in production form with 184 kW (247 hp) / 250 PS (246 hp) (Carrera 2/4). Later Turbo models with 3.3‑liters (0.87 US gallons) and 235 kW (315 hp) / 320 PS (316 hp) as well as the 3.6‑liter (0.95 US gallons) Turbo with 265 kW (355 hp) / 360 PS (355 hp) were added. On that technical base Strosek Auto Design — a company from Bavaria founded in 1982 by Vittorio Strosek — created its distinctive Speedster take. The Strosek name “Mega 30” refers to the 30th anniversary of the 911 and was sold as a kit/package of bodywork, wheels, interior parts and optional engine tuning. The Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster was always a low‑volume, customer‑specific conversion.

Design and tech of the original

Typical for the Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster is the heavily smoothed body. A low Speedster windshield or an alternative close‑fitting hardtop, flush headlights and very flat bumpers define the look. Side air intakes ahead of the rear wheels feed the brakes and engine bay with cooling air, and a continuous, red‑tinted taillight emphasizes the car’s width. Also typical are five‑bolt light‑metal wheels in Strosek style with a pronounced polished lip. Under the skin it stayed with the air‑cooled rear engine of the 964 base, although Strosek Auto Design offered power increases depending on the donor car — roughly into the 300–360 hp range — via different exhausts, modified engine management and improved intake flow. Power was sent through the 5‑speed G50/964 gearbox; Carrera‑4 conversions kept the all‑wheel drive option. Chassis work usually included stiffer springs, revised dampers and adjusted anti‑roll bars to match the altered geometry from the body changes and wheels. The Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster is therefore one of the many rare, small‑batch German tuner conversions on 964 basis from the early 1990s.

The GT Spirit 1/18 model in Play‑X’s collection

The model you see here at scale 1/18 is made by GT Spirit and is part of the collection of modeler “Play‑X.” It’s a closed resin model; the body is cast in resin which lets the smooth surfaces of the real car come through cleanly but there are no opening parts. The front and rear show the Strosek‑typical flush bumpers and the narrow front intake. The photos show a subtle grey paint without metallic effect, black window and light seals, and a gold‑colored Porsche crest sticker on the hood. The wide rear wheel arches, side intakes and very low ride height are all accurately reproduced. The continuous taillight, the flat engine cover grille and the twin tailpipes are modeled correctly. The five‑bolt wheels with polished lips suit the early‑’90s tuner look; the exact wheel brand can’t be identified from the pics. Inside — visible through the side windows — you’ll find dark seats, a classic 911 dash and a three‑spoke steering wheel. The license plate reading “STROSEK” and the simple door handles pick up authentic details from the real car. This 1/18 resin GT Spirit model is a neat addition for collectors who want to document 964‑era tuner cars.

Background, specs and collector context

The 964 as the technical base of the Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster was an important step in the 911’s evolution. With the M64 engine (bore/stroke 100 x 76.4 mm (3.94 x 3.01 inches), dry‑sump lubrication, dual ignition from 1991) and a curb weight depending on the version of roughly 1350–1500 kg (2,976–3,307 lb), the production Carreras hit 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in about 5.7–6.0 s; the Turbos were quicker. Four‑piston caliper disc brakes and improved aerodynamics (Cd ≈ 0.32) were standard. That solid technical base let tuners like Strosek Auto Design create unique body and performance packages without making the cars unusable for everyday driving. Conversions like the Strosek 911 Mega 30 Speedster were made to order; production numbers are low and vary by source. For collectors, Strosek’s style is instantly recognizable: smooth surfaces, flush lights, wide track and understated lines. This resin model reproduces those traits well — the single narrow front slot, the flat rear area and the hardtop with small side windows are all neatly captured. The neutral grey paint works well in scale, letting the shapes and panel lines stand out. For display in a case the low amount of visible seams and parts helps keep reflections clean and the body lines clear. If you’re documenting early‑’90s 911 tuner history, this 1/18 resin GT Spirit replica is a faithful, display‑friendly piece that makes the rare real‑world car easy to recognize.
