The first impression is often
influenced by the small, initially
inconspicuous details.
The front air intakes, which
are emphasised by titanium -
coloured surrounds, contain
minimalistic LED position lights.
Another minimalist feature is
the absence of struts on the
rear side air intake grilles.
The
decision to fit aluminium
doors achieves a weight reduc -
tion of approximately 15 kg.
The design of the side windows
accentuates
the Spyder’s side
contour (see page 22). But the
principle of
passive safety
remains. Among
other compo -
nents, the side impact protection
elements in the doors, the roll- over bars and a comprehensive
airbag system are safet y
features which even a minimalist
vehicle concept can offer.
In summary, the contouring
of the Boxster Spyder cuts to
the heart of what a Porsche
driver expects – a liberated
driving experience. And it of fers
an irresistible invitation: to
take on the challenge that is
the Boxster Spyder.
