The New Boxster Spyder

TOP

The New Boxster Spyder: The new Boxster Spyder is a radical return to the origins of the Roadster: two seats, high performance, no room for any distractions. It’s openly direct, unadulterated and unconditional. It’s hot, cold, stormy, wild. Whichever way you look at it: unfiltered.; Tell Me More

Overall Design: Unfiltered. Which means that you could barely get a sheet of paper between you and the world. That every detail of the exterior brings you closer to the true driving experience. With no unnecessary ballast. Instead, just clearly defined form that follow function above all else.

The result: a design that’s focused on the countless challenges of the past. And the tireless endeavours of our engineers.

No wonder that the front of the new Boxster Spyder literally says competitive athlete. Straight away, the large air intakes show how seriously it means it – as well as being extremely effective at cooling. The middle air intake also directs the air upwards through the vent in front of the luggage compartment lid to reduce aerodynamic lift on the front axle.; Next

Interior Design: Every pound that we’ve taken out of the Boxster, has an effect on performance. The ascending center console means only a short distance from the small sport steering wheel, a typical feature of racing cars, to the gear lever, while the three round instruments with central tachometer provide you with all the relevant information.

The shell of the optional Sport bucket seats is made from glass-/carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, for even more of a weight advantage. The ‘Spyder’ logo is stitched on the headrests. The Alcantara® seat centers are reminiscent of motorsport. An impression that is enhanced by the minimalist door pull loops.; Next

Classic interior package: The Spyder Classic interior package pays homage to the legendary Spyder models: back in 1958, in its second year, the 718 RSK Spyder took third and fourth place in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won the European Hill Climb Championship. In 1959 there followed victory in the Targa Florio. A huge amount of power despite the small cubic capacity and only four cylinders. Another member of this famous series is the 718 RS 60 Spyder which Porsche put on the racetrack in 1960. Together they dominated the Hill Climb Championships for years.; Next

Sport exhaust system: The sound of the new Boxster Spyder is particularly rich, thanks to the switchable sport exhaust system with the specially designed twin-branch sport tailpipe. For an even more intense Sports Car sound at the push of a button.; Next

Braking system: An exceptional athlete needs exceptional brakes: six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front axle and four-piston units at the rear. These brakes are extremely resistant to deformation and have an excellent pressure point response, even under high loads. Another performance indicator: the dimensions of the brake discs, 340 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear, are especially adapted for the high level of power. And they are internally vented and crossdrilled. For high thermal resistance and excellent response even in the wet.

Reserves which you can increase even more if you like, with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) which have been specially developed to meet the harshest requirements. They are also approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar size.; More Information
