The Porsche Boxster Spyder was presented in Mexico during the Speed Day 2010. This new limited production iteration promises exciting driving experiences as weight has been reduced, power increased and Porsche engineers have worked their magic throughout the chassis.
Many magazines think this is the continuation of the Speedster as presented back in 1989 in wide form and in 1994 in 964 narrow body but as the name itself explains this is an Spyder not an Speedster. The Speedster theme has the low windshield as central theme on the car, the 1989 version was presented on a widebody iteration ala 930 and not much more was done aside the cowl cover in the back for the 1994 964 narrow body version weight reduction was part of the game and lightweight items such as the Recaro buckets seats and RS door panels were included, of course a low windshield was present as well as the cowl cover, both of the Speedster were and are a highly coveted models.
Back now to our current Spyder based on the 987 Boxster it presents itself with a reduced weight, higher power output and chassis magic worked by the engineers at Porsche giving as result a tremendously exciting iteration of the current Boxster. Speedster is not as it presents the regular windshield. Spyder is as it is practically roofless. See it the way you want to see it the new Boxster Spyder is light, fast and fun...
...let's check out more of the Boxster Spyder!!!
We would like to thank David Tizcareño from Porsche de Mexico for helping us organize this shoot in such short period of time, this shoot was actually improvised and very last minute but in the end I think everyone enjoyed it and the photos coming out of the shoot are simply great, so thanks David as we also thank Andreas for going with the idea and helping us getting everything ready for us to shoot.
As always we had great fun at the Speed Day and the Boxster Spyder shoot was the cherry on the cake, thanks and until next time...
