When I toured the 2015 New York Auto Show, I have to come clean: I fell in love. That's because the all-new Porsche Boxster Spyder was sitting there in its full glory.

I wasn't the only one. The chief designer of an unnamed supercar manufacturer was quite stirred by the Boxster Spyder as well.

Now powered with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder from the 911 and equipped with an easier top than on the last-gen Boxster Spyder, has Porsche finally built the best Boxster yet? Well, if you're into the pure thing, then yes. If you want the latest whiz-bang technologies and a PDK transmission, this isn't the Boxster for you.

Hell, it may even be better than the much loved, all-new Cayman GT4. That's because while the Boxster Spyder may be down a bit on horsepower, it is actually lighter. That means it is a bit faster in a straight line.

Having said all that, check out the review by the famed Steve Sutcliffe.


The Porsche Boxster Spyder should be quicker than a Cayman GT4 in a straight line thanks to the same engine and less weight, but what's it like everywhere else? Steve Sutcliffe gets behind the wheel to find out.
