Model History
The Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder is the third generation Boxster Spyder and is one of the most driver-oriented Boxsters of our time – being almost identical to the 718 Cayman GT4 – less the hard top, fixed rear spoiler – instead equipped with a soft-top that folds within 10 seconds, and an automatically retracting rear spoiler. The power plant is shared between the 718 Boxster Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4 – utilising the firm’s naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six, producing 414hp matched with either a 6-Speed Manual Transmission or 7-Speed PDK Automatic Transmission and weighing in at under 1,500kgs – the 718 Boxster Spyder is a force to be reckoned with.

The GT Silver Metallic with Bordeaux Red soft-top is a subtle yet eye-catching colour combination – with the paint and the soft top being in brand new condition. The LED headlights with PLDS+, side indicators and tail lights are all in pristine condition, and operate with no faults. All of the body panels remain aligned and straight, with no signs of body panel gaps. The wheels are free from any signs of kerb rash or paint chips and remain vibrant in colour. All of the emblems from the Porsche badge, to the 718 Spyder branding are all correctly placed and do not display any signs of fade or oxidation. The Bordeaux Red soft-top opens and closes with no faults and in a very smooth manner.
Interior and Trim
Open up the doors of this performance based Spyder, we are greeted with a tasteful and welcoming interior – thanks to the Bordeaux Red and Black colour combination as a part of the Spyder Classic interior. The Alcantara accents are in pristine condition and feel great in the hands of the driver and occupants. All of the buttons are clearly visible and operate as they should – including the climate control system, infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and the Sport Chrono unit in the centre of the dashboard. We did not notice any blemishes, tears or wear on any of the surfaces. The carbon fibre bucket seats are one of the highlights of the interior and are an added option that is most certainly an essential for any car enthusiast. The door panels are brand new and tightly secured to the doors with all functions working. The cluster gauge illuminates with no faults and displays accurate readings.
