Range topping new Boxster Spyder
on display from 29th April.

Following a stunning unveiling at the Los Angeles Motor Show, the new Boxster Spyder is set to arrive at Porsche Centre Brisbane. The first of a limited number of Boxster Spyders will be on display from 29th April through until 6th May.

The new range-topping Boxster Spyder will also be the lightest sports car in the Porsche range – shaving more than 50kg off the weight of the entry Boxster model.

And no surprise, the Boxster Spyder is also the quickest roadster in the Porsche range with a 0-100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds when mated to the optional PDK transmission and Sports Chrono Package. The Boxster Spyder is more than just a quicker roadster – it’s also more powerful, now with 235 kW – seven kilowatts more than the Boxster S.

Porsche’s designers and engineers have flourished in the creation of the Boxster Spyder, adopting the formula used with great success in Porsche’s most successful road-going sports and racing cars, ranging from the legendary 550 Spyder all the way to the RS Spyder so successful in motorsport today.

The Boxster Spyder is designed primarily as an open-top car. The extra-low side windows and two striking bulges on the single-piece engine cover combine to create a silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT.

In terms of its fundamental concept, the entire Boxster family is the successor to the legendary 550 Spyder built back in 1953.

The 550 Spyder was the first sports car from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen developed specifically for racing but also homologated for the road. In the years following its production, this unique Spyder weighing only 550kg, scored numerous victories on race circuits and in the road races so popular at the time.

In 2004 and 2008 Porsche dedicated a limited edition of special Boxsters bearing the additional name Spyder to these legendary racing cars. By contrast, the new Boxster Spyder is a regular, specially developed and upgraded production model with far reaching modifications versus the Boxster and Boxster S.

First orders of the new Boxster Spyder will begin delivery to Australian customers in the second quarter of this year. With the majority of Boxster Spyders set for Australian arrival already spoken for, you’d best register your interest as soon as possible!
