 Hey, it's Chris with The Verge, and I'm standing in front of the Porsche Boxster Spider, which is the latest version of the company's long-running series of relatively low-cost convertibles, relatively speaking. This particular model is special because it's stripped. All of the options are gone. If you buy it stock, there's no radio, there's no air conditioning, and the top opens manually. It's a cloth top with a vinyl rear window. Very, very old school. It's designed to evoke old school spiders, which are traditionally open-roof cars. But that doesn't mean it's cheap. It's over $82,000 to start, and fortunately, if you want to add in things like air conditioning or radio, you can do so at no cost. So it's not that this is a cheap Boxster by any stretch of the imagination. It's just lightweight. Everything has been taken out. The Boxster has a 375 horsepower inline six, which is a little uprated from other Boxsters in the range, even the relatively high-end Boxster GTS. So this car really is all about performance, and that goes hand-in-hand with the fact that it's super lightweight. It has a manual transmission. You can't get any other kind of transmission, which is increasingly rare. And it doesn't come with a radio or a navigation system or air conditioning. It's all about saving weight. So hopefully we'll be able to get this thing on the road in the next few months. But then again, maybe not. It's a very limited edition, so we'll see.
