Description
A rare low mileage (981) Boxster Spyder in as new condition.
Believed to be one of only 19 black cars in the UK's 227 originally registered Spyders. The 981 Spyder is the rarest of all the often compared Spyder and GT4 models produced since 2015 and the most likely to appreciate with time. The black paint and black wheels with black front bumper lip on this particular car make it look even lower and more purposeful than other colours produced.
Subtle changes over the wider Boxster range, make the 981 Spyder stand out head and shoulders above the rest. With the extra power of the detuned 3.8 litre 911S engine, the standardised lowered sports suspension, heavier 911 clutch pedal, superb rifle-bolt short-throw gear lever and 918 steering wheel, the Spyder offers an even better driving experience than the desirable GTS models. It also makes an even more incredible noise!
This particular car comes with the rare and highly sought-after 918 hypercar carbon bucket seats (electrically height adjustable), actively-steering PDLS+ headlights and the essential reversing camera. A few interior enhancements include red seatbelts and DAB radio. Cruise control is not fitted, but is easily added as a retrofit.
The car has had just enough use to avoid the major problems one can find with delivery mileage cars which stand for years without turning a wheel. It has been serviced exclusively at Porsche dealers and stored in premium dehumidified storage facilities between outings.
A rare opportunity to buy an almost new car that still looks, feels and smells as if it's just be driven out of the showroom!
(Mileage will increase very slightly over coming weeks)
Often compared with the original 987 Boxster Spyder and more recent 718 (982) Spyder, this model represents the sweet spot and is, arguably, the best road-focused car Porsche have ever produced. Almost 400 horsepower but without the extra weight of modern exhaust filters, it's enough to be special without becoming too much. With better build quality and finish than the 987 as well as tyres and suspension better suited to road tripping than the Cup-tyred 718, the 981 is very much the best of the bunch. And it's the only one that makes the incredible flat-six howl when driving full throttle with the sports exhaust set to 'loud'.
This is a car that will be ever-more sought after with time - don't miss out!
