2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder Road Test Video

[fhhs05]

one thing i've always hated about german cars, they're ALWAYS soooo fucking stingy with their horsepower, it's a fucking 70k car for crying out loud. a cts-v of the same price comes with 560 hp standard. if porsche would one day stop being so stingy with their horsepower, make a boxster or cayman with 500 hp, i would sell my house just to get one of these.

[AKawesomeness77]

this car is so sexy i came in my pants while watching this

[FishTheNorth]

amazing, was thinking about getting a 2011 z4. pphhhhhhhh, this changed my mind

[vikingodc]

I just had a Videorgasm :O!!!!

[disndat11]

Awsome car!

I think I'll wait 6-7-8 years and buy a second hand one that's in good shape. Can't see myself coughing up 72K for it.

[MillionthUsername]

Cloth door pulls and a flimsy manual top seem utterly ridiculous on a $72k car. Is the driver going to notice the difference in speed due to the missing door handles? It seems frivolous to me that they made the car this way. 

[Marischkel]

This Car is nonsense - i mean who is concepting a car that can drive almost 280 - but you can´t drive it because of the top?!?!. And open you can´t drive anyway 280

this car suck´s sry. i am a porsche fan and no hater but this is absolutely the stupidest car that porsche ever ever has concepted!

[danielcalbito]

whos idea was it to film the 10mph sign

[Truemoderate]

So they stripe down a Boxster S and jack the price up?! wtf???

[tdown1649]

This television program is awful and the presenter is an absolute dope. Don't these idiots watch Top Gear?

[MrBabirusa]

I thought this would weight like ~2,600lbs. It's not THAT light for a tiny roadster if you ask me..

[toyotas2006]

For a Porsche

Convertible

Over 300 HP

Under 3000lb sports car

With a hell of a heritage behind it

I'd say it's a bargain!

[StuRaz]

One day an American magazine will stop these slalom and skid pan tests to qualify handling. It's obscene.

[asianmovement]

SHpyder

[alex14469]

Its like a little carrera gt

[esca8652]

Take the soft top out of the car and you'll save a couple ounces :)

[Molo9000]

They try to save weight with cloth door pulls but then build in adaptive HID headlamps? ROFL

This is all just a marketing exercise to make the Boxster look more serious.

The normal Boxster/Boxster S is probably a great car if you want a roadster that is also a comfortable everyday car, but this spyder is kind of pointless.

And a Lotus Elise SC is 10 grand cheaper.

[marshknute]

@Molo9000 My uncle races a GT3 with the Porsche Club of America, and the Boxter Spyder is becoming the track car of choice among new members. Most owners load their Spyder into a trailer and tow it to and from the race track. You are right though, they are useless for everyday use.

[TechThem22]

@marshknute the cayman r just came out. those people are going to feel like idiots, cause the cayman is a much more rigid car than the boxster.

[marshknute]

@TechThem22 Yes and no. The people who buy Boxster Spyders are also the people who buy GT3's and GT3 RS's. They are long time members of the Porsche Club and replace their car every year or so. Come summer time, many Spyder owners will have already traded them in for Cayman R's.

[TechThem22]

@marshknute gotcha. what is depreciation going to be like on the spyders? they kept them exclusive so i hope not much.

[mattyoz0]

@Molo9000 Yeah and built like shit. fuck off if you have no idea.

[principeivan]

if i have 72K lying around somewhere i'll pay every single dime for it! i went to a porsche dealer and sat down in it amazing feeling and i wasnt even driving it! :) when you get a sportscar you want fun.. well this car surely delivers ! :D

[AntiHero12109]

@principeivan "i wasn't even driving it! ..well this car surely delivers!"  Wow, so you never test drove it, but you're preaching about it, thanks a bunch for your useless opinion. I bet you truelly believe deep down inside that tif the car is bright red it goes faster too!!!

[principeivan]

@AntiHero12109 nahhh i think in yellow goes faster !

[RossEnzo]

Road and Track got 0-60 in 4.3

Car and Driver got 0-60 in 4.1

Auto Car got 0-60 in 4.0 ****with PDK****

Thats as fast if not faster than Ferrari's F430, Audi R8, and Porsche's own basic 911

[lavoo1]

just added this video to lavoo, a free social dating site.

[fatalegg]

this is a boxster i like. perfect for an area with many curves.

[TheBakstabr]

my stock 350Z would smoke that boxster. hands down

[sspope]

@TheBakstabr

yeah, right!

[markecho89]

@sspope Thank you for agreeing with me. 350Z's are the shit!!

[yumyumluckycharms]

@TheBakstabr Uhhhhh no... Boxter is way lighter than your shitty Nissan. You gotta upgrade man ;)

[TheBakstabr]

@yumyumluckycharms you don't know shit about my nissan so shut your mouth. and don't fuckin wink at me, that's creepy

[yumyumluckycharms]

@TheBakstabr No ;)

[aimcoclutch]

i will get one if just say "porsche spyder" on badge

[delphiccrypt]

So why don't I want 2 sti's instead?

[Damag3R3port]

Beautiful car. Very impractical, but beautiful.

[adogg619]

Nice looking Boxster, but damn over 70 grand!

[mikalebg]

If you want ultimate performance get the GTR , but if you want a badge to get you in to the country club get the boxter , simple.....

[gunzkevin]

@mikalebg The nissan GTR??? I do not consider that even close to the ultimate performance. If you want the ultimate performance and don't mind getting your hands dirty, get a 2006 zo6 for ~30k, slap some twin turbos on that 7.0l v8, and have an awesome ride. I know you would have to probably rebuild the lower half of the engine but still comes out under 60k.

[wrxi265]

I wonder if Porsche told them not too post 0 to 60 times?

[psmTARDCORE]

@wrxi265 C&D got 4.4 i think

[nwonknu8]

dude y the fuk would u buy a convertible that u hav to manualy keep changing? and those dumbass doors? Just to lose 130 pounds? thats retarded. if they realy wana improve performance then just fukin improve the engine!

[1991mrbrightside]

@nwonknu8 Engines only let you go fast in a straight line. Light weight and low unsprung mass lets you go fast everywhere. That's why they trimmed the weight. "Light is might."

[apalsenberg]

The Boxter finally makes sense ,,; this is what is should have been from the start.

Great review as well!

...more car and no ego tripping presenter; I like.

[blakstadboy]

give me old layout back........hate it,hate it..

I know its out of topic here ...

[sidewayznut2009]

I really like this Boxter alot

[sidewayznut2009]

I really like this Boxter alot

Of course I've never driven any Porsche either.

[DemonOfRazgriz89]

1:52 jesus look at that exhaust shake 0_0

[OneOfaKind949]

Ok what is the 0-60????

[CJAEY]

I always disliked the Boxsters.

Always been a fan of the 911 but this car is an exception. It looks beautiful. The mid engine placement is always good

[Propel3453]

I true sports car.

[jet79637]

I think I just heard that this particular car does not have a/c, cool for track time but wow I would go through so many white shirts here in Clearwater Fl. I love how quick it is, and it still looks great too!

[gasfgiop]

0-60?

[Popielniczka69]

Boxter looks much better now on his back

[redstormer75]

Good to see you guys included the price and all ^^

[taedom]

wtf $72,000

[euro944t]

@taedom

2006 Cayman S 40k miles is less than $30k in Texas.

Just think about an under exhaust TT kit and Techart wheels and body kit.

[TheAmefist]

@taedom God damn. For a car so sexy that is cheap as hell.

[Dada13409]

@taedom in germany even more...

[champ1193]

is it porsh or porsha (pronounced like)?

[anotherone10]

@champ1193

Its pronounced porsha

[colombia3229]

@champ1193 porsha

[camaro8020]

@champ1193 its porsh phonetically for people who can afford them

[uflnuceng]

The performance numbers on this car are really just amazing...

[thebossisheretostay]

$72,000!! what!! thats stupid money...get a vette Z06, completley different class in performance terms or something. its true with porsche the more you pay, the less stuff you get. 911 GT3 - 911 GT3 RS for example

[vroomer1]

wow. looks nice!

[miglior57]

WOW, 70+ mph in the slalom? damn. i love the fact it doesnt have AC and comes base with a straight 6 speed. that is a lot of car for around $70k. i love it

[carsaregood911]

@miglior57

Arguably so, but the GT-R is the best bargain for costing 70k as well.

[nemesis3001]

@carsaregood911 Uhuh... Well not for somebody who values a car that is nimble, light and communicates driving dynamics through the steering wheel. The GTR feels like a large lump of dead wood in comparison. If youre looking for an exciting driving experience rather than a lap time, grab the porsche.

[miglior57]

@nemesis3001 yeah thats what im saying. the GTR is fast, but that is really all it is. and with the boxter, at the end of the day, youre driving a porsche.. not a nissan.

[sspope]

@miglior57

There's more to it.

The GT-R is the result of a perfect manager decision. Torque vectoring is all that makes it so fast around a track, but I don't think it will be able to hold its position in the future, because torque vectoring will become very common thanks to one Swedish company that will sell it to whole car industry.

[undeadkillers]

It seems that 2011 is going to be a good year.

[e30roundel]

THIS boxster looks sick, unlike the previous models, this one is super sleek looking, love that interior and front end
