Porsche recently announced its plans to release a limited edition Boxster, specially designated as the RS 60 Spyder. This designation is meant to pay homage to the company’s famous racecar, the 718 RS Spyder.
Only 1960 will be made; a number chosen to celebrate Porsche’s first win at the 12 hours of Sebring in the year 1960. That race was won by…(drum roll) the 718 RS Spyder. The win was monumental for the relatively young brand.
The car will be visually distinctive thanks to it’s red leather, red top and unique front-lip spoiler. All red tail lights will also set the car apart from the standard Boxster.
Horsepower is bumped slightly to 303 thanks to a new tailpipe design.
Now of course the price-tag. $65k base, so call it $70,000 once you add up the options. I’m sure it’s a cool car, but $70k for a Boxster?? Maybe the 1960 units made isn’t meant to make it rare, but it’s just the number of chicks crazy enough to buy one.
On autoblog.com someone commented it’s for the trophy wife that has everything….
I love Porsche’s, as you may have noticed, and am the first to admit that these excellent cars are overpriced; however the truth hurts sometimes
