This new Boxster model is a few hundred pounds lighter than its predecessors to optimize its performance, yet it retains its midengine design and high-end sports car sensibility. But, alas, this video is not about the 2010 Porsche Boxster Spyder's statistics--it's all about its aesthetics. As you can tell, this Porsche is poetry in motion against a backdrop of green and mountainous highways. The swiftness of the Boxster Spyder can easily be felt merely by watching a video clip of this car in action, and you'll only wish that you were behind the wheel feeling the wind rushing against your face in this fine automobile. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Inspired by the 550 Spyder and 356 Speedster, the new Boxster Spyder has been designed specifically for open-air driving. The suspension is also 20mm lower than the regular Boxster, creating a lower centre of gravity and using even stiffer spring/damper units. The front track is wider by 4mm, and the rear by 8mm.
Inside, the Boxster Spyder features a version of the Boxster S interior, re-worked with an emphasis on purism and ergonomics. In fact, Porsche is so serious about its weight-loss programme that even the instrument cowl above the dials has been removed.
The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-litre six-cylinder with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 bhp, 10 bhp more than in the Boxster S.Equipped with PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Again with optional PDK, fuel consumption is a mere 9.3 litres on 100 kilometres (equal to 30.4 mpg imp) in the NEDC New European Driving Cycle. Top speed, in turn, is 267 km/h or 166 mph - with the roof open.
Market introduction of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder will start worldwide in February 2010. The base price in the Euro countries is 53,100 Euro. Including 19 per cent VAT and national specifications, the market price of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder is 63,404 Euro.
