Boxster S RS Spyder Now Official

I bet some of those options (like the exhaust and the steering wheel) turn up in the Tequipment brochure!
Geez, even if Porsche doesn't want to put 911 power in a Boxster, I sure wish they'd give us a real RS model: significant weight reduction, sport suspension with some adjustment, a limited slip, option deletes like A/C, some more down-force, and R compound tires.
That would be one smokin little Spyder!

I agree 100%.
The RS name implies a RennSport model. To me that means light weight and a strong power to weight ratio. Why not a speedster type RS. Imagine Less sound deading, radio and ac delete, manual roof, less insulation in the roof, adjustable suspension, a RS badge. if Porsche is going to make cars and name them after infamous past models at least maintain that RS means something.

By the way all 1960 will sell out.

If they would have called this special edition anything except RS I would appreciate it more.
