Porsche is poised to reveal the Boxster Spyder, the spiritual ancestor to the legendary 550 Spyder built back in 1953, at the forthcoming LA Auto Show. The newest member of the Boxster family has been developed first and foremost for open air driving; the low-slung, lightweight soft top that extends far to the rear serves only to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. When closed, the soft top, together with the extra-low side windows and the two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, boasts a stretched and sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT.
At just 1275kg, the Spyder is the lightest model in the Porsche range. It weighs significantly less than the Boxster S and has a lower center of gravity and an all-new sports suspension. Its 3.4-liter six-cylinder also puts out 320bhp, 10bhp more than in the Boxster S.
Market introduction of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder will start worldwide in February 2010.
