保时捷一直对718BoxsterSpyder进行并不太适合这种车的寒冷气候测试。这次谍照记者除了拍到车辆雪地测试照片外，还首次拍到了内装照片。新车的车头改款仅限于前脸，相对于其他Boxster车型只是略有不同。最大的变化是顶部，Spyder采用了比基尼风格的肩带。后面的行李箱盖也与其他车型完全不同，更富曲线感，在每个座椅后面都有一个隆起的拱形。而在车尾则采用突出的散流器和一对尺寸更大的圆形排气尾管。不过，新车内装变化不大。左侧可见碳纤维运动座椅，方向盘和排挡杆表面也采用了Alcantara材质。为了降低车重，车厂将减少隔音材料，这样水平对置六缸引擎的咆哮声将更多的传入车厢内。与Boxster其他版本不同的是，该车动力系统很可能搭载一台取自911GT3的4.0升水平对置六缸引擎。为了与车系中的其他车型有所不同，该车功率可能不会达到满血的368千瓦/494马力，据传功率在321千瓦/430马力之间。相对于老款车的276千瓦/370马力，这已经是一个不错的升级了。这辆测试车配备的是手动变速器，据传该车还可选装双离合器自动变速器。718 Boxster Spyder将在今年晚些时候发布，随后将于年底上市。

 

Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder Spied Showing Off Its Cabin

Porsche continues to test the 718 Boxster Spyder in chilly conditions that don't suit the roadster very well. In addition to letting us see the model covered in snow, these spy shots provide the best look yet inside the upcoming model.

 

In front, Porsche's designers limit the design tweaks to the front fascia, which is only slightly different from what's on other Boxsters. The bigger changes start at the top where the Spyder gains a roof with bikini style straps like the previous generation. The rear deck is also completely different from other variants by incorporating a more curvaceous appearance, including nacelles behind each seat. At the rear, there's a prominent diffuser and a pair of large-diameter, circular exhausts. Inside, Porsche doesn't appear to change things much. At the left of the spy shot of the cabin, you can see the carbon fiber of the bolstered sport seat. The stylists also cover the steering wheel and shift knob with Alcantara. The company would likely install less sound deadening to save weight and bring more of the flat-six engine's roar into the cabin.

 

Unlike other versions of the Boxster, the Spyder reportedly gets a version of the 4.0-liter flat-six engine from the 911 GT3. To retain a differentiation in the lineup, Porsche likely wouldn't give the Boxster the full 494 horsepower (368 kilowatts). Rumors suggest the Spyder could boast around 430 hp (321 kW). This would still be a nice upgrade from the 370 hp (276 kW) in the previous Spyder. This test mule has a manual gearbox, but rumors suggest that a dual-clutch transmission might be an option.
