After initial scepticism, the Boxster and later the Cayman have now secured a place in Porsche history. In fact, these sports cars are recommended by experts as an insider tip for Porsche enthusiasts who love to drive. Not least because Porsche has developed the Boxster/Cayman so fantastically. Porsche wouldn’t be Porsche if it hadn’t also introduced a number of special limited edition versions, including this Boxster 987 RS60 spider. Number 1082 of only 1960 produced.
In a fantastic colour combination, GT silver metallic exterior paint, with a burgundy red full leather interior and matching burgundy red convertible top. As always, the red looks brighter in the photos than in reality. For this car, it is even more important to see it in person. Tastes differ, but we think a Boxster 987 couldn’t be more beautiful. Then there is its exceptional condition. The original paintwork is shiny and like new all around. Virtually no signs of wear. The stunning 19-inch original Porsche Sport Classic rims with top-quality Michelin tyres. The special details for this special RS 60 spider. The satin black painted front window frame, the front splitter, the absence of the speedometer cover, the centre tunnel and interior inlays painted in GT silver, the silver-grey seat belts, the special aluminium/leather gear knob, the stainless steel sill strips with RS60 Spyder logo, the rear of the sports seats in body colour and, last but not least, the type plate on the dashboard with number 1082 of 1960 units. To top it all off, this car also features an extensive leather package on the doors, dashboard, centre console and, of course, the sports seats. Now you might think that Porsche would offer a Boxster RS 60 spider with all the options, but nothing could be further from the truth. However, the first owner has equipped the car with a laundry list of original Porsche options, perhaps the most important of which is the PCCM plus modern infotainment unit (installed later), with DAB audio, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, Apple Car Play and Android Auto, and full map navigation. For the complete list of options, please refer to the overview in the advertisement.
Of course, a manual Porsche Boxster 987 S already drives wonderfully. This Spyder, especially in this condition, is just that little bit sharper, thanks in part to the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the close-ratio manual short-shift gearbox and the 310 hp at a kerb weight of only 1430 kg. With a verifiable mileage of only 32,500 kilometres in 17 years, in unreal condition, with a verifiable maintenance history, at one Porsche dealer (Porsche Centre Bielefeld). The winding and deserted B road on a balmy summer evening, with the top down and the adjustable sports exhaust open. The fact that this addictive driving experience feels like new speaks for itself, given the condition and mileage of this Porsche. Although this very special sports car will certainly enrich any Porsche collection, we sincerely hope that the lucky new owner will also enjoy this car on a regular basis. Combine a top investment with a delightful driver’s car, and every future ride in this fantastic RS60 spider will be one to look forward to and remember.
