ratio that counts: the ratio
bet ween low mass – for excellent
agilit y – and high power – for
outstanding performance. This is
precisely why the power- boosted
3.4 - litre Boxer engine has been
counterbalanced by a weight
Drive system.
More engine power equals
increased dynamic performance.
To our engineers, this formula
has always been too simplistic.
At Porsche, with over 60 years’
experience in building sports-
cars, it is the power-to-
weight saving of 80 kg. The engine
improves on the already impressive
figures of the Boxster S by a
further 10 hp for a total power
output of 235 kW (320 hp) at
7,200 rpm, and maximum torque
of 370 Nm at 4,750 rpm.
The result is a vehicle with an
engine that boasts outstanding
performance figures, is very
smooth running, has increased
pulling power and excellent cor -
nering agilit y. When combined
with the intelligent light weight construction it has a power-
to-weight ratio of just under

4 kg/hp. Even the slightest touch
of the accelerator provokes a
sense of urgency, propelling the
Boxster Spyder from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/h) in 5.1 seconds.

Not all escape artists
employ trickery.
With the hood open, the top
speed is 166 mph (267 km/ h),
accompanied by an engine
sound that is characteristically
Porsche. The power of the
engine is delivered to the road
by a precision six-speed manual gearbox. Gear changes provide
the connection between the
engine power and an active,
pure driving experience. In
terms of features designed for
comfort and convenience, there
is only room in our concept if
they are in keeping with the
sporting theme. Optional Porsche

of fers gear changes that take
place in milliseconds with no
interruption in the flow of power,
enabling the driver to enjoy
improved acceleration combined
with a high level of driving
comfort. And a distinct reduction
in fuel consumption.

directly into the combustion
chamber with millisecond
precision by means of electro -
magnetically actuated injection
valves. The injection spray
and cone angles are tuned for
optimum mixture preparation
and combustion.
The results are increased
power output and torque, along
with lower fuel consumption
and emissions.
Top athletes always impress
because their hearts serve

as their engines. At Porsche,
this is nothing new.
The heart of the Boxster Spyder
has a particularly powerful
beat, and a pulse rate fit for
high performance.
Indeed, the engine features
direct fuel injection (DFI)
as standard. Fuel is injected
At Porsche, everything is open to improvement.
This is not a concession, it’s our motivation.
State-of-the-art engine technolo -
gies, e.g. VarioCam Plus, further
improve ef ficiency. This system
boosts low-end torque and high -
end power output.
Fuel injection and ignition
are controlled by the engine

electronics. The driver regulates
engine power using the
extremely sensitive electronic
accelerator pedal. The exhaust system, with its
short twin tailpipe finished in
black, not only creates a bold
visual accent but also provides
a distinctive sport y sound.

The sound builds to a crescendo
as the rev range increases in
conjunction with the optional
sports exhaust system.
