2016 Boxster Spyder

I don't think this going to help the resale of the 987 Boxster Spyders. This new top seems a lot more practical and this is a huge bump up in power.

Everyone thought the 987 spyder was the last of its kind.

You were right though, about them sand bagging it. With less horsepower than the GT4, it's only .1 second to 60 slower, and despite missing some of the gt4 bits I bet it's similar on a track.

I'll be curious to see just how good those GT3 bits are. Because a difference of 10 HP is negligible given that the Boxster Spdyer has lower COG and probably less curb weight overall. Even with that some reviewers have said the GT4 still understeers more then they apparently expected. There is no getting around the advantage of a roadster in lower center of gravity when coupe and roadster have equal power.

In addition to the GT3 steering and suspension, The Cayman GT4 also has a completely different body shell than regular Caymans. Smaller steering wheel too. And of course (almost forgot) the GT4 has the picnic table on the rear trunk, while the Boxster Spyder here can get on with it with just a duck bill. The 2015 Boxster Spyder just needs some of those giant 16" brakes.. or maybe not if the lap isn't too technical.
