Boxster S RS Spyder Now Official

[porsche986spyder]

I love it and want one. But will wait to buy a used one many years from now. After someone else replaces the RMS! LOL!

If i was buying a new Boxster i would jump to have this it is so HOT!!!!!

I think it is a winner, Certain people want limited edition models, Porsche know this and can make extra bucks and tons of PR from it.

This has a page dedicated to it in the Aberdeen car supliment in the paper.

They cant use up all there tricks now re: engine, they dont need too.

Haven't seen any US pricing, but here is how it stacks up in Canada:

$70,200 Base Boxster S - source Porsche Canada
$81,900 RS 60 Edition - source: Canadian Driver
$11,700 Premium

Definately worth it if you look at individual prices in CAD:
$5,050 for Carrera Red leather
$2,720 for the 19" rim upgrade
$2,790 for PASM
$2,940 for the Sport Exhaust
$4,390 for GT Silver metallic "Special Color"
$17,890

Some of those option prices are insane though. How is GT silver worth $3,400 more than Arctic Silver ??

Don't forget the sport seats, Exclusive shift knob/handbrake, sport chrono, PCM, likely Bose stereo system, et cetera.

That number looks about right. If it's anything like that here in the US, wow, I'm going to be severely tempted....

The paint options are a joke though. in 2005 Cobalt Blue was a $3000 option, then in 2006 or 2007 they changed it so that it was only an $800 option, but they took Atlas Grey, which was an $800 color and made it a $3000 color!!! SO ARBITRARY.

Well, it's up on the Porsche configurator now. $64,900.

I'm a bit disappointed though. It doesn't have a lot of the equipment that was shown in the press pictures.

The following are not standard:

- PCM
- Sport Chrono
- Xenon headlights
- Heated seats
- Parking assist

All of those items were shown on the car in the microsite.

It's still not a "bad" deal, considering all the exclusive options, but now it's a lot less compelling.

Should I be excited?

Those orange 987's are more aesthetically pleasing.
