At its first presentation in 2009, the Boxster Spyder was the most lightweight, street-legal sports car in the Porsche model range. At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche unveils this special edition featuring aluminium doors, racing bucket seats and a manually-operated canvas top. Gone are the radio, the air-conditioning and seat heating. The doors are pulled close by the classical pull straps. All up, the Spyder weighs 80 kilos less than the Boxster S, but comes with an extra ten horsepower, a sports suspension and limited slip differential. Customers have the choice between a six-speed manual gearbox and the seven-speed double-clutch gearbox PDK. By 2011, Porsche produces 1,667 units of the Boxster Spyder.
