Porsche Boxster SpyderYesterday Porsche revealed the all-new Boxster Spyder. Today we are bringing you more details and additional images.

The Boxster Spyder is a pure roadster, reduced to the essentials like the legendary 550 Spyder. There is no radio or PCM module(saves 3 kg), no cup holders and no air conditioning(saves 12 kg).

The aluminium doors save 15kg, new bucket seats save another 12 kg. The door cards are from the GT3 RS and feature pull cords instead of standard handles. New 19-inch wheels are also the lightest ones Porsche offers on any of its production cars.

There is no heavy sound insulation, rear window and no electric motors on the canvas roof. It is as minimalistic as possible weighing just 1275 kg (2811 lbs) making it the lightest car in the Porsche model range.

The Spyder is powered by an enhanced version of the 3.4-liter direct fuel injected flat-six found in the Boxster S developing 320 bhp (10 bhp more than the Boxster S).

Peak torque is up from 266 lb-ft to 273 lb-ft. With the new PDK gearbox 0-60 mph comes in 4.6 seconds / 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

Compared to the Boxster S, the chassis is lowered by 20 mm and comes with stiffer springs. Recalibrated dampers, thicker anti-roll bars, limited slip differential and Porsche Stability Management are all part of the standard car.

The Boxster Spyder will be available in seven colors: three solid colors(Black, Guards red, Carrara White), three metallic colors(Basalt black, Aqua blue, Artic silver) and one special color( Cream white).

Sales will begin next February with Euro zone prices starting from 53,100 Euros, and U.S. prices starting from $61.200.
