Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

I was pondering if Porsche might repeat the last Spyder RS 60 concept and make the 981 version in a unique colour, fully loaded lots of extra leather bits and pieces and possibly the GT4 engine with the usual 15bhp deficit in order to make up for the standard bodywork and heavier roof this time around [&o] http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/boxster/17117/porsche-boxster

Spyder and GT4 sounds ideal to me. While the R was produced in small numbers, as I think you said yourself, it is not as unique as the Spyder. I cannot think of another Porsche bar the mega expensive ones that has needed the level of production line intervention to build it. Porsche expected enough sales to justify this and were scuppered by the hood, so it is reasonable to assume the Spyder was a loss making excercise for them. With the result that we got a car which if they had tooled up to make 1800 would have cost considerably more than it did. Even the Speedster does't look like it has needed anything like the level of intervention put into the the Spyder. Could be wrong but there may well be a surprising recognition, in the motoring world, of just how unique the Spyder is in the years ahead.ORIGINAL: MrDemon "P.S. If anyone knows where to find a car that fits this description" the GT4 with only 200 UK models and only 100 2015 cars and of course the Cayman Rwhich I will be very sad to sell... hence my 2015 garage will be my Spyder and a GT4

Your car looks superb, as usual, just not so keen on the design of the Speedster humps, but then I am a mid engine fan, makes the car look so much lower and sleeker, particularly from the rear. Not to take away from the fact that your brother's Speedster is an extremely rare and desirable car.ORIGINAL: daro911Some say the Spyder is the better looking of the 2 and was £100k cheaper when both were brand new!

10 secs in... I wonder if the black car next to the Yellow GT4 ( I guess ) is the new Spyder https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84838260&feature=player_embedded&x-yt-ts=1422327029&v=HgtunezHulc

I notice the Speedster has black tail pipes like the standard Spyder tail pipes, any tips on how to stop the black enamel from pitting. I guess it may just be a question of cleaning them after every drive, I wonder is there any sort of heat resistant polish that withstands the acidic exhaust gases.
IF this is the replacement for the 987 Spyder who thinks we have just got ourselves the next serious classic from the Porsche range [] Hardcore Porsche Boxster in development for 2016 launch Lightweight Boxster could be badged 'Club Sport' when it goes on sale in 2016 This hot version of the Porsche Boxster could resurrect the ClubSport badge The hot Boxster is unlikely to be seen before 2016 This model is unlikely to offer more than the 325bhp of the Boxster GTS A reprofiled front bumper features on this prototype Porsche will look to increase performance through weight savings and a tuned chassis setup by Andrew Frankel 26 January 2015 A more sporting version of the Porsche Boxster, which could become a successor to 2011's Boxster Spyder, is in development. The new car, spied here during winter testing, could resurrect the missing Club Sport name from Porsche's line-up. At the recent Detroit motor show, Porsche boss Wolfgang Hatz confirmed that a new, more sporting Boxster model was on the cards, although he said it would not adopt the GT4 moniker like the upcoming hot Cayman. Hatz has also said the sporting Boxster will be developed by the mainstream Porsche operation rather than the firm's Motorsport division. It's understood that this new Boxster won't provide more power than the current range-topping GTS, which gets 325bhp from its 3436cc flat six petrol engine. Instead, Porsche engineers will focus on dropping the car's kerb weight and tuning its chassis for a more sporting set-up. From these pictures, it seems that styling changes for the model will be limited to around the front bumper. This prototype gets larger side air intakes, as well as a central air vent in the same vein as the upcoming 911 GT3 RS. With the facelifted Porsche Boxster due to go on sale late this year, it's unlikely this more hardcore version will be seen before 2016. Prices will most likely shift upwards from the £52,879 asked for the Boxster GTS. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/hardcore-porsche-boxster-development-2016-launch

If it does not arrive to 2016 and if reports of gt4 and gt3 to be only porsche with a na fl6 then it's going to be a fl4 turbo!
