The approach of our designers, something that makes the Boxster Spyder even more distinctive, is reflected in the canvas hood. A two-piece combination of canvas and weatherresistant fabric, the hood has no sophisticated electronics, no control motors and as a result, a weight saving of 21 kg.

It’s a hood that protects you from the sun with the windows down, giving you an authentic sense of open-air driving. With the windows closed, it enables you to continue your enjoyment of a pure roadster experience to the full, even on those inclement days. Yet it is it’s simplicity which makes it fundamental to the appearance of the Boxster Spyder. So as not to limit luggage space, the hood stows in the forward section of the rear luggage compartment.

How is it operated? By one person alone, in just a few minutes. To make things even easier, all parts relating to hood assembly and disassembly are finished in striking red.

With the hood closed, the vehicle has a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).
