LONDON: Porsche introduced an open-top version of its latest Boxster model with the roar of a 3.8-Liter, 375 horsepower flat six engine. Porsche says the Spyder is the fastest and most powerful Boxster ever. The car, with wide use of aluminium to make it lighter, can go from zero-to-60 in 3.8 seconds. That beats the 4.7 seconds of the Boxster GTS, currently at the top of the Boxster line-up.
The sculpted mid-engine two-seat Spyder also has a top speed of 180 miles per hour. The Boxster Spyder starts at $82,100. Orders are being taken now in the U.S., Porsche’s largest market. But it will take four to five months for delivery.
