As standard, the Boxster Spyder
is equipped with an extremely
sport y suspension setup. This
means stiff, short springs,
large lateral stabilisers on the
front and rear axle, and four
shock absorbers tuned for hard
compression and rebound. The
body is 20 mm lower at the
front and rear axle than that of
the Boxster S.
Chassis.
The Boxster Spyder is more
than a sportscar. It ’s a super
athlete. If its development was a
captivating challenge, it is now
a question of how to satisf y this
athlete’s appetite for perform -
ance, how to fully exploit its
proximit y to the road and how
to liberate the forces generated
by the combination of light -
weight
construction and high-
performance engine.
What does all this mean for the
driver? A closer relationship
with pure driving dynamics, with
almost no pitch or roll, for a level
of agilit y that turns ever y corner
into an unforget table experience
– not least with the hood down.
Yet even this experience can be
improved upon. The mechanically
locking rear dif ferential, fit ted as
standard, further enhances the
traction of the driven rear wheels
on road surfaces with varying
grip and when accelerating out of tight bends. It also acts to
dampen load- change reactions
during fast cornering and
in the event of interventions
by the PSM control system
(see Boxster main catalogue,
page 63). Road-holding at the
limits of performance is even
more impressive. With the car
able to hold its course bet ter,
the driver is free to enjoy
sheer driving pleasure at every
t wist and turn.
It all begins with that which makes
the difference in the end: the spirit.
