Porsche releases RS 60 Spyder
November 28, 2007 by Karl Peskett
Paying homage to its racing history, Porsche has unveiled a limited edition Boxter, the RS 60 Spyder.
Designed as a tribute to the Type 718 RS 60 Spyder which won the Sebring 12 Hour in 1960, the new Spyder will be restricted to a worldwide production run of, you guessed it, 1960.
Finished in GT Silver metallic, the RS 60 Spyder is distinguished from the regular Boxster S by its front end, featuring a spoiler lip taken from Porsche’s SportDesign Package.
The interior is finished in Carerra Red, and intriguingly, so is the soft-top. Other accents highlight the exclusiveness of this car, with stainless steel sill panels featuring the name, and a placard with the car’s number on the glovebox. Different interior touches, including exposed instrumentation further highlight the racing heritage.
Wheel spacers have been used to increase the track, PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is standard, and revised airflow has increased the power from 217kW to 223kW.
Car Advice has been informed that although delivery starts early in the second quarter of 2008, there won’t be many coming to Australia.
Priced from $157,800, we’ve been told only a dozen or so will make it to our shores.

Nice.. so this is based on the Boxster S, not the regular Boxster?
Yes, it’s based on the Boxster S.
So that’s over twenty grand more than the Boxster S then. On the other hand, while it is slightly more expensive than the Cayman S, it does have that extra power, and much better looks. Perhaps it’ll be a bit of a classic
looks sweet – red everything interior ok except steering wheel which is just a bit over the top – anyone agree/disagree?
i like the red steering wheel, what i think will look ugly is the red top!!!
a sweet car but!
Looks a damn lot better than the VE UTE did though……
Never really done it for me Boxsters or the Caymans , if you have to have a Porsche its got to be a 911!
Just another Boxter
A Nissan GTR will blow it into outer space, goodbye Boxter.
ill get cruisified for this but id take a porsche over a GTR anyday.
The GTR is too boy racerish, the porsche is all class.
japanese Power is nice, but only the euros can make them drive handle and look classy!……
You’ll be surprised, but I actually agree with you, Porsche does have class.
But if you give me a key to a Boxter and a GTR on a track day, I’ll take the GTR.
On the road? I’ll take an Aston DB9 thanks.
Momo, wake up, you are in a dream!
Slap,slap…….you awake yet…hehehe
Hey Momo you will be interested to know that the GTR will be in the next Targa Tasmania in April 08……will be interesting to see how it goes against the Porsche’s ha! A Donut King entry
My money is on the Porsche’s still.Especially with Gentleman Jim in the seat !
Yeah, depends on the driver, Jim and his Porsche is my bet too.
You missed our mate earlier today Momo……Suburban came back for a quick goodbye!Gee we will miss him,hey Tonyn!
LOL I couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
Mind you he only stopped because he was defeated, not because of any sense of personal decency on his part.
