      <p>Driving a Boxster Spyder is a commitment. A commitment to unconditional driving pleasure. A commitment to that which matters to roadster enthusiasts: tangible and visible dynamics.</p>
      <p>As ever, our designers set themselves extremely high standards. The objective was to convey a clear message from the very first glance, to give an outward expression of what a Porsche driver expects: authenticity, precise handling and sheer liberation.</p>
      <p>How? By remaining faithful to a fundamental Porsche principle:<br />the combination of a consistently lightweight design and intelligent performance. By dispensing with the superfluous and retaining the most important element:<br />the original roadster spirit.</p>
      <p>With the Boxster Spyder, this spirit is expressed by its unmistakably sporty design. By a styling that, typically for Porsche, explores its own directions.</p>
      <p>The most striking examples are the manual canvas top in place of an electric convertible top and the rear which is dominated by two imposing and dynamic-looking haunches. With the top open, these create a smooth visual continuation of the roll-over bars in a black painted finish. So, is this all just styling for styling’s sake? On the contrary. The addition of pure design here should only be contemplated if performance is improved as a consequence. The result of these enhancements is improved aerodynamics during open-top driving.</p>
