The upcoming Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder has been spied testing on the Nürburgring. This time around, the Spyder’s lapping the famous German race track, looking very production ready.
The features U.S.-market touches like the side marker lights and a rear-bumper license plate indentation that is narrower than European vehicles have. It is expected to debut this summer, a couple of short months away. The ceramic brakes’ yellow callipers can be seen through the dark wheel spokes, as opposed to the red numbers on the previously sighted car.
Rumours are circulating that the new Spyder would be the last generation to use a naturally aspirated six-cylinder, and some rumours even include the 911 GT3’s four-litre six in it, detuned to 430 horsepower. But we can say that the exhausts on the new Spyder are bigger, and it’s not yet clear what that represents. At least it will have a six-speed manual gearbox, with a possible PDK transmission option.
