Porsche will unveil the Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy next week. This limited edition takes its inspiration from the classic Porsche racing cars of the '60s, especially the Type 718 RS 60 Spyder.
Based on the Boxster S, the RS 60 Spyder comes with a unique front spoiler and a new exhaust with unique dual tailpipes. The modified Boxster sits on 19in alloy wheels and features the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) stability control. The engine gets a power boost raising its power from 276bhp to 299bhp.
On the outside, the car is available with a choice of two paint schemes. The first one combines a GT Silver metallic paint with a red interior in natural leather, dubbed Carrera Red and red roof top. The second paint scheme replaces the Carrera Red interior by a dark grey interior and the roof becomes black. The interior gets a visual revamp with the GT Silver paint featured on the instrument cluster, the seat backrests, the central console and the roll hoops. There is also a bespoke gear lever.
The car goes on sale in next spring with a price tag without VAT of €53,500/£38,400 and will be built at only 1,960 units.
