How will a pulp result?
It's no secret that Porsche loves to run limited-editions of its popular roadster.
The 1st generation Boxster (that's 986 for those in the know) saw a special 550 Spyder commemorative edition made in limited numbers, while the current (987) Boxster has a North American-only special edition on the market now, of which only 500 examples were produced - all in Porsche's GT3 RS Orange paint.
Now, yet another special edition has been produced that once again harks to the Boxster's heritage.
A beauty isn't it?
Based on the current Boxster S, the Boxster RS 60 draws its inspiration from the 550 Spyder's successor, the Type 718 RS 60 Spyder.
Oh, by the way, have I mentioned that I love the Boxster S?
Just the other day I was trying to convince a friend to get the Boxster instead of Cayman. Failed attempt though. (This is so Irrelevant.)
Anyhow.
The new Boxster RS 60 Spyder is based on the S version of Porsche's mid-engined convertible and mimics the design of the race-winning Type 718.
Although the changes are mostly cosmetic, there are the exception of a tweaked exhaust which nets an eight horsepower increase over stock, bringing the total to a healthy 303. Porsche's Active Suspension Management is standard.
The exterior this "special edition car" is bathed in a distinctive GT Silver Metallic paintwork which is accentuated by the contrasting natural leather interior in Carrera Red.
(The roof is also finished in red. But as an alternative, there is also the choice of Dark Grey natural leather in conjunction with a Black roof.)
It is distinguished by a unique front spoiler and 19-inch diameter Porsche SportDesign alloy wheels, which spacer plates have moved outwards purposefully in the wheel arches.
As for interior...
Inside the Boxster RS 60 Spyder, door trim strips made of stainless steel proudly bear the 'RS 60 Spyder' model designation.
The leather interior trim is further distinguished by a textured surface on the centre sections of the sports seats and the center door linings, and this also extends to the steering wheel rim and handbrake lever. Completing the sporting ambiance is a bespoke gear lever.
Here's something that may interest you:
To reflect its model designation, the Boxster RS 60 Spyder is limited to 1,960 examples, each one proudly bearing a silver-colored plaque on the lid of the glove compartment.
I go by the name Princessa (pronounced as Prin-ces-sa) online, you can also call me Sabrina or Princess Sabrina for that matter.
