Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder "Special Edition"
Even though i think it's stupid what Porsche is doing with these so called "special edition" model 987 anything i will still post this for your viewing pleasure.

I think it looks pretty nice with that Carrera red interior =)

judging the color on the interior is difficult as the photos have been PS'ed and you would have to see it in everydaylight to really tell whether it looks good.
harry why are you pissed about the special edition? |

And yeah. I once specced out a Boxster S to $120k or something. All leather and all carbon fiber. :mrgreen: |
$100K for a Boxster?
WTF? Who in their right mind would do that? $120k? uhm - ok... |

HAHA I did the same exact thing! All leather and CF baby :mrgreen:
As for the 53k Euro thing, I was just going off of what that link said, unless I misread it. Quote:

It's shitty because it's depleting the image and name of the brand by building so many cars based off of one chassis throwing a few things in here and there finding a race car that was successful(easily done) and naming it after that. There are already 2 "special edition" Boxsters available so this makes number 3. Yeah you get options as "standard" but you still pay for them. Look at the performance numbers virtually the same as a standard Boxster S, and equipment you can buy from the parts bin...thats not special. 315 hp with 4.9 0-60 times, 175 top speed, 6 pot brakes and parts/wheels specific to it's edition would make it sort of special ;)
By the way a reg Boxster fully loaded isn't $100,000+ unless you are going all out...which I will assume is what you mean. And the red interior is flashy at first but the color combo in person is very tasteful. The only special edition car i see actually being of something good unless Porsche just f*cks shit up hardcore will be the 50th Anniversary Ed. 911. The 40th Jubilee Ed. was garbage... |
I guess it's not too bad. But it's still poor attempt at selling out its past.

I like the fact that they removed the instrument binnacle and allow the guages to sit atop the dashboard. By doing so, Porsche make the car look a bit more like the "Speedster" it always should've been.

Looks great IMO, but its too pricy. But lets be honest, Special editions always sell even if they're not that special. Gotta love marketing.

I saw a special edition Boxster that was in GT3 RS orange with a GT3 RS style interior with the alcantara, etc. I personally didn't like the idea...it takes a little away from the RS. But that's my opinion.

No extra power or better handling or better brakes no care.
This is the rice edition of the boxster. ;-) |
