Very nice, from that angle reminds me a little of an f360 and an SLR from the rear.



Prob nothing like either in the flesh tho!!

Very nice indeed and possibly not the best colour to show off the curves.

I like it. The front and rear wings look more sharply angled at the top giving the car a harder edge. On first impression this could be the best looking boxster yet IMO.

Looks good - the hood has lost some of that "top off a pram look" in my eyes?

I reckon an S with fixed/lowered suspension, LSD and sports exhaust could be my next car - try to get the essence of the Spyder but with a practical roof?

Not sure why you would want a LSD on a high traction mid-engine car, it'll just add understeer.

You're obviously not aware of my near God like ability to power slide a car, even on a mere jaunt to the shops wink

No noticable understeer on the Spyder with LSD.

Nor Cayman R - was hanging the tail out quite easily round the experience centre.

Obviously you can get the tail out by braking traction, LSD or not. But in terms of lateral grip balance, LSDs tend to make the front end lose grip first, all other things being equal.
