2016 Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder

Inspired by a cult classic from the Porsche brand, the 718 Spyder, the modern 981 Boxster Spyder was developed and unveiled in 2016. With the Spyder, Porsche aimed to offer a lighter and more powerful model in the Boxster series that would sit above the then-current S model and be more distinctive and true to its roots. The 3.8-liter boxer engine delivers 375 hp at 6,700 rpm—naturally, it’s still a classic naturally aspirated engine. It sounds impressive—and with the factory-fitted sports exhaust system, it even gives you goosebumps—a stark contrast to a modern, quiet electric vehicle, but a delight for the sports car enthusiast who enjoys his time on the open road without the radio. It accelerates to 100 kph in just 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 290 kph. Visually, it’s a car with high recognition value thanks to its factory-fitted GT Silver special paint finish and the soft top characteristic of the Spyder. For many, one of the best Porsches ever.

The interior is very harmonious and distinctive, featuring a combination of black leather and Alcantara, contrasting red decorative stitching, as well as red seatbelts, red door handles, and carbon fiber accents. A special feature, as already mentioned, is the approved Akrapovic complete exhaust system. The original exhaust system is, of course, included.
