New York International Auto Show 2015: World Premiere of the Boxster Spyder
 |
| 2015 Porsche Boxster Spyder |
Porsche is highlighting the 2015
convertible season by celebrating the world premiere of the new Boxster
Spyder. This pure sports car will make its debut at the New York
International Auto Show. The new top model of the Boxster range retains
the unique and unmistakable character of the previous Spyder, which has
already attained cult status. For example, the classic roadster top is
still opened and closed by hand, and the Boxster Spyder is only
available with a manual transmission, benefiting both weight savings and
driver enjoyment.
Staying true to roadster DNA, the Boxster Spyder offers a traditional
sports-car driving experience combined with truly exceptional
performance. This includes a firm sport suspension with a 20-mm lower
ride height, brakes taken from the 911 Carrera S, more direct steering,
and a 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with an output
of 375 hp, culminating in a genuine sports car experience with
outstanding driving dynamics. It is the lightest model of the current
Boxster line, and the most powerful Boxster to date. Taking only 4.3
seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph, the Boxster Spyder has a top track
speed of 180 mph.

The distinctive design of the Boxster Spyder includes stylistic
elements reminiscent of legendary sports and race cars from Porsche. Two
prominent streamliners that extend down along the sweeping rear lid
behind the headrests pay tribute to the 718 Spyder from the 1960s. The
manually operated, lightweight top is suitable for everyday use with an
electric clasp, while bringing to mind roadsters from the past. The fins
that stretch back from the top to the rear lend the vehicle’s
silhouette its characteristic design. The front and rear fascia’s also
are unique to the Boxster Spyder, and an air outlet is located in front
of the forward luggage compartment.
More so than in any other Boxster, the interior of the new Spyder
creates an atmosphere that elicits a feeling of pure driving pleasure.
The driver and passenger sit in standard Sport Seats Plus, while the new
steering wheel with a diameter of 360 mm (compared to 370 mm in other
Boxster models) helps ensure the mid-engine roadster can be driven
precisely and with great agility.
In line with the model’s traditional roadster character, neither a
radio nor an air conditioner is included as standard equipment in order
to reduce weight. However, both can be ordered as optional equipment at
no cost. Furthermore, the entire range of Boxster audio systems is
available for customers to choose from as an option, including the
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with navigation.
