You could be forgiven for thinking that the Porsche Boxster has been abandoned, but Porsche will not allow models sport only one of the most successful they left behind - so that in the New York Motor Show they revealed new cars Boxster Spyder. The previous generation Boxster Spyder has a limit, keterbatas in running, no roof for the car and a smidge more power and Porsche know that there is a big fan of the car, but there were too many compromises.
So for the generation Boxster Spyder 981 we get a lot of pinch but also some comfort. Powertrain is lifted from Cayman GT4 with detune slightly, so there is a 3.8-liter flat-six of the 911 Carrera S produces 370 bhp in this installation. Given that the Spyder has a weight of up to 1,390 kg (30 kg less than the Boxster GTS) performance clearly got a shot in the arm. 0-62 mph takes 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 180 mph, much advantage over the GTS.
Unlike GT4, the Spyder was built in the normal production line, so it does not get a whole host of part GT3 coupe, but there are many upgrades over the GTS. There are bigger brakes than 911, up to a height of 20 mm lower thanks, lighter suspension setup and a new more powerful and no satnav or air conditioning as standard to save weight. Advantages of the Spyder is of an entirely new roof to save weight as well - this one manually operated rear deck despite still using electricity.
With Visual you have the nose and tail of the addition of the Cayman GT4 that provide a more aggressive stance and look good, but you only get a low ducktail spoiler at the rear. On the rear deck there are two buttresses that flow from the circle rollover as a nod to the 718 Spyder 1960 models.
