Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder

Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder

Cabriolet, 2016

Highlights

  • PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes)
  • Porsche Approved until April 2, 2028
  • Price with Dutch registration: €117,007

Extremely rare in this color with these specs, equipped with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes), the ultra-lightweight carbon racing seats with seat heating and air conditioning.

Furthermore, nearly all factory options are present, and the car is fully equipped with a transparent PPF film valued at €6,000 and a LoJack tracking system.

Only 39,551 km on the odometer, accident-free, original paint all around, fully documented. Always serviced by a Porsche dealer. Recently underwent major maintenance at Porsche Centrum Brabant. The car comes with Porsche Approved coverage until April 2, 2028.

Always garaged and rarely driven in the rain—you can see that in every detail. The underbody, engine bay, and interior look like new. The last naturally aspirated Spyder before the turbo era, produced in limited numbers. Already a classic that will only increase in value.

The vehicle in detail

This Porsche Boxster 981 Spyder 3.8 belongs to the third generation of the Boxster (Type: 981). It is the second generation of the Boxster Spyder, which was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in April 2015. In 2015 and 2016, this model was produced in a limited series of 2,486 units.

In developing the Spyder, Porsche aimed to create the ultimate driver’s car, where every kilogram of weight had to be justified. Weight was saved by using a lightweight roof structure, removing insulation material, and installing lightweight sports seats. As standard, the car was even delivered without air conditioning or a radio. The result was a weight reduction of 30 kilograms compared to the regular Boxster.

The Boxster Spyder features PCCB brakes and the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine from the 911 Carrera S. This naturally aspirated engine delivers 375 hp and 420 Nm in the Spyder and is always paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 290 km/h.

The suspension was developed specifically for the Spyder with a sportier setup and a 20-millimeter lower ride height. The steering has become slightly more compact, and the steering ratio has been adjusted for a more direct feel. The gearshift lever also has a shorter throw.

Because the exhaust isn’t equipped with an OPF filter, the 3.8 in the Spyder sounds FAN-TAS-TIC. In our opinion, this is the Porsche with the most beautiful exhaust note of them all, especially in Sport mode when you let off the gas. Goosebumps!!

Especially at speed, you discover just what a fun package the Spyder is; the balance is fantastic, the steering wonderfully precise. Thanks to the X73 Sport suspension and the ceramic brakes, the handling is razor-sharp and the braking power is unmatched. This is driving, real driving—it doesn’t get any better than this.

The Boxster Spyder is inspired by the 550 Spyder and Carrera GT. Visually, it’s recognizable by the front end, rear bumper, Cayman GT4 wheels, and two large power domes on the hood. Another nice detail is the rear spoiler, which looks like a sort of mini-ducktail and pops up for extra downforce.

This Spyder has always been garaged and has barely been driven in the rain—you can tell by looking at it. The underbody, engine bay, and interior all look like new. Accident-free, original paint all around, and fully covered with a transparent PPF film valued at €6,000. Additionally, we’ve had a LoJack Class 5 tracking system installed.

Our Spyder is equipped with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes), the extra-lightweight Carbon 918 racing seats with seat heating and air conditioning. It is also equipped with the larger 64-liter fuel tank, large-screen navigation (PCM), BOSE Surround Sound System, cruise control, rearview camera, anti-theft system, and a custom-made interior cover (pyama).

This Spyder is a rare find. Only about 750 units were delivered in Europe, a limited number of which were in Speed Yellow and just a handful with ceramic brake discs. Additionally, the Spyder features full PPF and carbon racing seats, and nearly all factory options are present.

The car is in mint condition, has only 39,551 km on the odometer, is fully documented, and has always been serviced by a Porsche dealer. It recently underwent a major service at Porsche Centrum Brabant. The car comes with Porsche Approved coverage valid until April 2, 2028.

Our biggest challenge is locating such a gem. There is currently not a single other one for sale worldwide with this exact combination! As an indication, as far as we can determine, only one Racing Yellow model was for sale in 2024/2025.

All in all, a unique car—you won’t find another one like this anytime soon. Racing Yellow in original paint, including the yellow PCCBs and Approved certification, is truly a needle in a haystack. It is a highly sought-after collector’s model, the last naturally aspirated Spyder before the turbo era, produced in limited numbers. Already a classic that will only increase in value.

At Cars Forever, buying a car is an experience, and we turn the delivery into a small celebration. Every car comes with a storage folder to keep all the car’s documents organized, a Meguiar’s Car Care Set to keep your new purchase in top condition, and a Cars Forever keychain.
