See that Lightweight Buckets are now available to order for 981 Spyder - £971.
£1907 on a GT 4!!!
Another decision to make.

Road tested in today's Autocar - they loved it! 'Purism requires some sacrifice but it's worth it. The most beautiful Boxster yet - and the best'.

Apologies to those with a red 987 but the colour never seemed to suit the car IMO.........but for some reason I think the 981 looks great.

That is genius, the author didn't even need to drive the car he just collated every motoring cliche you could possibly put in a review!
e.g.
"Yes, it is only offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, but it snicks between its gears seamlessly and the clutch that bites in the perfect spot".
"the variable steering cut into a corner like a razor blade into butter."
"The handling is as sharp as a tack, the steering is totally dialed in and the powertrain is more than willing when the driver calls for a burst of speed".
Great car, comedy review!
Another reason why the 981 Spyder might one day be the equivalent of the last of the air cooled aka 993's[]
‘We need to go to turbocharging to reduce emissions,’ he is quoted as saying. ‘How else can we get C02 levels below 95g? But no matter how good a turbo engine is, it can never have the pure response of a naturally aspirated engine.’
Walter Röhrl doesn’t stop there. ‘At least it’s not a four-cylinder turbo like in the next Boxster. That sounds like a Volkswagen Beetle, I’m not kidding you! I tell the guys, “You’re joking with this sound, right?” But they just say they are working on it. I’m sure they will get it right.’
Walter’s answer? Wheels reports he has bought himself a current Boxster ‘because engines like this won’t be made anymore’.

Does the Spyder have active suspension .... R I am sure has not?
