保时捷718 Boxster Spyder最新的测试视频近日曝光，与先前拍到的不同的是，这次是718 Boxster Spyder在纽伯格林进行测试的视频。与保时捷绝大多数测试车一样，这辆718 Boxster Spyder也是黑色车身，这有助于掩盖很多细节。虽然这次遮盖了LED行驶灯，但无法遮盖行驶灯形状。在引擎盖上也有一些胶布掩盖住了保时捷车标。与BoxsterGTS相比，Spyder采用的改款前脸的进气口更大。该车还配备了轻量化车顶，软顶的固定带附在后面。车顶还可以选择红色的。这辆车看起来是采用了量产版的车尾，底部散流器下面伸出了一对排气尾管。无论是CaymanGT4还是BoxsterSpyder都搭载了一台功率调低版的4.0升水平对置六缸引擎，搭载该引擎的911GTS3功率为368千瓦/494马力，而在BoxsterSpyder上功率将调低至298千瓦/400马力。排气管发出的声浪也低调得多，对于一款高性能敞篷跑车而言，这种不够“澎湃”的声浪并不意味着车辆不过侵略性。消费者可选择手动或双离合器自动变速器。从去年以来，就一直有BoxsterSpyder的测试谍照出现，随着近期该车越来越接近量产版的原型车不断露面，预计新车开发已经接近尾声，预计这两款车和将于年底发布。
Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder Spied Pushing Hard At The Nürburgring
A new spy video provides another look at the upcoming Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder. Unlike the previous photos, the hardtop Cayman GT4 is not testing with its convertible sibling this time.
Like most Porsche test mules, this 718 Boxster Spyder is black, which makes it easier for the company to hide the concealed elements from our prying eyes. This roadster features covers over the LED running lights that do very little to hide their shape. There's also some tape over the hood's Porsche emblem – as if anyone wouldn't know what company this machine is from, especially with the automaker's name on the rear.
Compared to the Boxster GTS, the Spyder has a revised front fascia with larger openings. The model also has a lightweight roof with straps that attach it to the back. The top is available in red, too. This car appears to have the production-spec tail with a pair of exhausts that emerge from the diffuser.
Both the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder reportedly share a detuned version of the 4.0-liter flat-six from the 494-horsepower (368-kilowatt) 911 GT3. In this application, the powerplant reportedly makes over 400 hp (298 kW). In this clip, the sound from the exhaust sounds surprisingly demure, and the lack of noise doesn't seem quite aggressive enough for a hardcore roadster. Customers can reportedly pick between a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch transmission.
Spy shots and videos have chronicled the Boxster Spyder's development since 2017. Given the nearly production-ready look on this car and other recent test mules, the work appears nearly complete on the two models. Both of them should debut before the end of the year.
