faithful to the Porsche tradition.
The result is the Boxster Spyder.
Bolder, more powerful and sport-
ier than ever. Porsche Intelligent
Per formance in pure form.
The Boxster Spyder.
A sportscar that represents a
pure driving experience. In an
age where the focus is usually
on practicalit y, moderation and
a desire for comfort, our engi -
neers have remained steadfastly The overall objective was to
improve performance. But,
again, in an intelligent way, not
simply by boosting engine
power. Instead, we scrutinised
every detail, while never
forget ting that the driver’s
needs should be our primary
focus. The need, for example,
to express one’s own desire for
sportiness and to reflect one’s
minimalist sense of st yle. It was
necessary to eliminate the weight
associated with comfort and
convenience. The result is a
manual hood instead of an electric
folding roof. No air conditioning
system. No radio. No cup holders.
An interesting paradox:
The more constrained you are,
the more liberated you feel.
The t wo luggage compartments
are perhaps the only concession
to convenience. What ’s been
added are aluminium doors,
specially designed 19-inch light-
alloy wheels and sports bucket seats. A power output of 320 hp
– which is 10 hp more than
that of the Boxster S. A suspen -
sion that has been lowered
by 20 mm to a harder sports
set ting. A mechanically locking
rear dif ferential. And a design
that not only reflects this com -
bination of force, sportiness,
purit y and ef ficiency, but intensi -
fies it too. The resulting vehicle
is a top - class athlete that has shed 80 kg for a power-to -weight
ratio of just under 4 kg / hp. A
driving experience that can be
summed up in one word alone:
unleashed.
