The Boxster Spyder Unleashed

Taking an idea back to the basics, turning old values into new benchmarks, reforming a vehicle concept even though it has forever been deemed a classic. Aren t these all apparent contradictions? On the contrary, for it is in abiding by these very principles that our engineers managed to realise a long-held dream. The dream of a roadster that has never before existed in this form. It is more original, more sporty and more liberated than ever. This dream is the Boxster Spyder. 4

An interesting paradox: The more constrained you are, the more liberated you feel. The Boxster Spyder. A sportscar that represents a faithful to the Porsche tradition. The overall objective was to forgetting that the driver s necessary to eliminate the weight The two luggage compartments seats. A power output of 320 hp rear differential.

If you want to embark on a new voyage of self-discovery, you should first free your mind. The Boxster Spyder concept. The purposeful mid-engine It is only logical that the name made from canvas. This radical design of the side air intakes arrangement, the distinctive Spyder should continue to measure gave our designers and the deliberately minimalist lightweight construction, the be synonymous with a roadster free rein to create an overall interior. extraordinary agility, the precise in its purest form, and that it appearance like no other.

The first impression is often influenced by the small, initially inconspicuous details. The front air intakes, which are emphasised by titaniumcoloured surrounds, contain minimalistic LED position lights. Another minimalist feature is the absence of struts on the rear side air intake grilles. The decision to fit aluminium doors achieves a weight reduction of approximately 15 kg. The design of the side windows accentuates the Spyder s side contour (see page 22). But the principle of passive safety remains. Among other components, the side impact protection elements in the doors, the roll-over bars and a comprehensive airbag system are safety features which even a minimalist vehicle concept can offer. In summary, the contouring of the Boxster Spyder cuts to the heart of what a Porsche driver expects a liberated driving experience. And it offers an irresistible invitation: to take on the challenge that is the Boxster Spyder.
