Regardless of what other people say, I really like the Boxster/Cayman. Porsche especially has a lot of personalization when I comes to BYO. As for this Boxster Spyder itself, it looks orgasmic in Carrera White with turbo wheels.

Doesn't one of the 911 GT3 or GT2 have fabric door handles? I guess it was inspired after that lol. I want one.

Maybe the GT3RS but it has been used at least as far back as the 1973 911 2.7l. RS Porsche's first serious lightweight project original or restored 2.7RS sell for about $200,000

No radio, AC or top.



It's just a track toy.

I just cant ever warm up to the cockster. That toupee of a top is just horrible (yes I understand the purpose of the vehicle).

damn man I think its as light as an S2000 but with 80 more hp. This thing is going to set the bar for its class. I want to see mercedes create an AMG version that is less than 3000. There problem is always the weight. They always seem to remedy the situation with massive HP and torque ( especially the torque ).
