This roadster is not a roadster. At least not like any we have come to expect these days. No more soft breeze, no more cruising, no more clich\u00e9s. Typical Boxster, you might think. And yet our engineers have managed to sharpen this attitude even more. The new Boxster Spyder is a radical return to the origins of the Roadster: two seats, high performance, no room for any distractions. It\u2019s openly direct, unadulterated and unconditional. It\u2019s hot, cold, stormy, wild. Whichever way you look at it: unfiltered.<\/p>\n
The new Boxster Spyder<\/a> is the original interpretation of a legend that began life in the fifties with the 550 Spyder and continued into the sixties with the 718 RSK<\/a> \u2013 on the racetrack of course. Described to this day as extremely agile with consistently lightweight construction<\/a>. Taken to the limit in a mid-engined sports car with 375 hp and 3.8-liter displacement \u2013 more power than ever before in a Boxster. And you can feel exactly what that means when the world is blowing, unfiltered, around your ears.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The result: a design that\u2019s focused on the countless challenges of the past. And the tireless endeavours of our engineers.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
