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.

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.

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

comfort. And a distinct reduction

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.
