New 718 Boxster Spyder pics
This has to have six cylinders, doesn't it?
Here is that car's replacement, the 718 Boxster Spyder. As before, there's a more ornate roof arrangement, plus a few external hints to the Spyder's greater performance potential: note the new exhaust arrangement (with revised diffuser), the reintroduction of the rear buttresses and more aggressive front bumper/grille. If our eyes don't deceive us this car is using Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s as well, plus what look like Cayman GT4 wheels.
And nobody cares, do they? What we need to know is whether this car will use the much maligned flat-four turbo from the regular 718 models, or the 3.8-litre flat-six from the previous Spyder. The twin-turbo 3.0-litre from the 911 Carreras won't fit, so it really is down to those two engines. Autocar maintains that the atmospheric engine will remain, though don't forget the flat-four has recently been boosted to create the GTS models that are within 20hp of the old GT4 - presumably they could go further still, so let's hope the Motorsport division get their wish and the bigger engine remains.
When can we expect this Spyder? In the 981 generation car, there was a year between the release of GTS and Spyder, the latter making its debut at the New York show in 2015. With the 718 GTS models imminent, the Spyder - and hopefully a GT4 - will follow at some point in 2018. Is Geneva too optimistic? Let's wait and see!

I think the Spyder and the GT4 will be F6, the head of Porsche GT models has said more than once.

So which mistake would that be?
Porsche seem to know their customers rather better than some PH members think they do
Seriously why is there this version?
