Per formance in pure form.
The Boxster Spyder.
A sportscar that represents a
pure driving experience. In an
age where the focus is usually
on practicalit y, moderation and
a desire for comfort, our engi -
neers have remained steadfastly The overall objective was to
improve performance. But,
again, in an intelligent way, not
simply by boosting engine
power. Instead, we scrutinised
every detail, while never
forget ting that the driver’s

needs should be our primary
focus. The need, for example,
to express one’s own desire for
sportiness and to reflect one’s
minimalist sense of st yle. It was
necessary to eliminate the weight
associated with comfort and
convenience. The result is a

manual hood instead of an electric
folding roof. No air conditioning
system. No radio. No cup holders.
An interesting paradox:
The more constrained you are,
the more liberated you feel.
The t wo luggage compartments
are perhaps the only concession
to convenience. What ’s been
added are aluminium doors,

specially designed 19-inch light-
alloy wheels and sports bucket seats. A power output of 320 hp
– which is 10 hp more than

that of the Boxster S. A suspen -
sion that has been lowered
by 20 mm to a harder sports
set ting. A mechanically locking
rear dif ferential. And a design
that not only reflects this com -
bination of force, sportiness,

purit y and ef ficiency, but intensi -
fies it too. The resulting vehicle
is a top - class athlete that has shed 80 kg for a power-to -weight
ratio of just under 4 kg / hp. A
driving experience that can be
summed up in one word alone:
unleashed.

The dashboard is the epitome of

another accent on the theme of
minimalist and authentic design. will have to make sacrifices.

Door storage compartments?
No chance. Cup holders?
No chance. Conventional door
release levers? Dit to. But why should we have fit ted
levers, when door pulls are
so much more evocative of our
racing tradition? And, more
importantly, they are, by nature,
weight-saving. By no means
trivial details, they are part of a considered and, in the roadster
segment, superior strateg y:

purposeful lightweight design.
It ’s a solution that also includes
sports bucket seats with seat
centres in Alcantara. The result is
a further 12 kg reduction, and a way for the driver to experience
more acutely and more immedi
-
ately the power that pushes
the Boxster Spyder to the limit.
An air conditioning system has
no place in this concept either.
That would have added 12 kg. It ’s a concept that demands
strong conviction, for whoever
attaches so much value to

performance and authenticity
sets dif ferent priorities in terms
of comfort, and would prefer
to rely on the most natural of all air conditioning systems: the
headwind with the hood open.
Despite our strict adherence

to purit y of design, we wanted
to make one concession: the
windscreen with grey top -tint
and the wind deflector are standard. A lit tle indulgence

that makes open -top driving that
little bit more comfortable.
One last question: what other
potential for weight reduction
was lef t? Should we really have
gone so far as deleting even the radio? With a weight saving
of 3 kg and the powerful engine
sound of the Boxster Spyder to
compensate, that was an easy
decision.
How can a roadster strike a more authentic note?
Without a radio.
