I reckon they are hiding the double humps - no way the production car will have a rear window that small!!!Intrigued that it appears porsche has gone done the same roof solution for the 981.
Although the attaching points for the roof on the rear deck seem very slim, or maybe a different solution to the 987. Each spy shot, although seemingly having up close access to the car doesn't actually give great detail!!
The rear camo wasn't on the other 'spy' pics, but is clearly just there to disguise the rear humps in a really unsubtle manner.
I'll have to wait and see on the launch whether they have somehow engineered an auto version of the roof or they have stuck it out with a manual. Does no harm for the 987 if they have.
....... As for the the 50k Spyder. Fantastic if they are suddenly at that level, but I think it a tad optimistic. More so with the spec of that car. Lovely write up on the advert, but not quite the 'perfect' spec.
Looking forward to seeing the 981 'Spyder' or 'clubsport', which ever route they take. I don't see a GT4 matching spec though from the hints which have been released.

Had mine since new from April 2010, longest I've owned a car apart from a Caterham which I had for 12 years.
Mines only done 5000 miles, and the only time the top has been on is when it goes back to the dealers for servicing and its annual MOT. It's the one car that I can't see me ever selling.
However I have an LOI on the new spyder which would replace my current 997 daily driver, seems like madness having 2 spyders but I jumped ship on the GT4 as I can't drive without pdk because of my disability. Anyway for me to make that final decision the new spyder will have to be very special.

The potential was there, think PDK-only turbo 4-cylinder GT4 and no new Spyder.Now that the new Spyder is coming with a spec very close to the old one, that will most definitely cap the price at least £15k below the price of the new one, so £40-45k for good cars.

no car is ever capped as people want what people want how ever good the new Spyder will be it will still have electric steering and that's that, if one wants hydraulic steering and more feel then one has to buy the older car, it matters not what the new cars price is what so ever.Now that the new Spyder is coming with a spec very close to the old one, that will most definitely cap the price at least £15k below the price of the new one, so £40-45k for good cars.
you see Ferrari 355 prices now over take 360 prices, but the 360 is the better car !
I also see 987.2 Spyder prices to boom this year going into 2016 at £55/60k no question atm is way to cheap and in Euro land they are 70K euro's for lower mile ones.
100 manual 987.2 Spyders and the lightest car since the 964RS lightweight, the cars bound to go up.

we will see I made a bet with others here 18 months ago about prices and won those.Cars under priced as it stands atm vs what else you can buy but is creeping up atm
So back in 12 months and I'll let you say "what of load of crap then" ;-)
you are correct on the 2.5 weight, I did not notice that was 1260kg,
Do we know if the 981 Spyder will be limited edition/run or a full production model? The 987 Spyder was a full run production car which didnt sell in huge numbers as we know. If the 981 is unlimited then I would expect the sales on the 981 to be a lot higher than the 987, a similar way to the Lotus Exige S1 sold very few and the Exige S2 was in much greater numbers. The 987 Spyder was selling for close to 30k a couple of years ago and now its gone up it could prompt a much greater interest and sales figures for the 981?

It's not limited production. Having said that, gen 2 should be out soon, so once this is announced, then production will stop.
It is limited production and less than GT4 numbers.Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
