New 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Preview [PICS]

2011 Boxster Spyder

“Porsche released details and photos on the latest iteration of the wildly popular Boxster line. The new model, dubbed the Boxster Spyder, clearly has the high-performance enthusiast in mind. The new model weighs only 2,811 pounds – 176 pounds less than a Boxster S - thanks to the elimination of the regular convertible top. The conventional articulating power top has been replaced by a fabric tonneau-like cover that looks to be intended for unexpected showers. The six-cylinder boxer engine gets a 10 horsepower boost over the Boxster S to 320 hp, while a stiffer suspension lowers ride height by 20mm. Lower side windows and a twin-cowl rear deck lid gives a sportier, Carrera GT or 911 Speedster look. The price? A cool $61,200, about $4,500 more than a Boxster S and it’s due to hit showrooms in February, 2010.”

This has to be the best looking Boxster yet.  Of course adding some horsepower and shedding some pounds never hurts either.
