Porsche Briefly Announces the Boxster Spyder - Insider Car News
But crammed in the middle of all of the white noise was the announcement that a new Boxster Spyder will be released in 2015. » Related: Audi and Porsche Collaborating on V-6 and V-8 Engines The Boxster Spyder hasn’t received a ton of press, but it... Much like the earlier Boxster Spyder, it’s all in the roof and the curb weight…. Whereas the standard Boxster has a full-length retractable roof, the Boxster Spyder will arrive with a manually operated, bikini-style roof that helps cut a few pounds from the curb weight. With this type of top in place, the Boxster Spyder will also feature aero humps just behind the seats. In the last-generation Boxster Spyder, Porsche reduced the fuel tank capacity, added in aluminum doors, offered a lithium-ion battery, and pulled some unnecessary equipment from the interior to drop the curb weight by 176 pounds. There is no mention of when the Boxster Spyder will debut this year, nor is there any mention of which engine it will use. The 2015 Boxster is available with either a 2. 7-liter boxer-six that produces 265 horsepower or a 3. 4-liter boxer-six that produces either 315 or 330 horses. Source: www.insidercarnews.com
