The Porsche 981 Spyder is a limited-edition, high-performance version of the Boxster, designed for driving enthusiasts who crave a more focused, raw driving experience. Released in 2015, it stands apart from the regular Boxster with several key enhancements. Most notably, the 981 Spyder features a more powerful 3.8-litre flat-six engine sourced from the Porsche 911, delivering 375bhp compared to the Boxster's 265 to 330bhp options. The Spyder also benefits from a lighter, more minimalist approach, shedding unnecessary luxuries and focusing on performance. This includes a manually operated roof, sportier suspension, lightweight bucket seats and lightweight wheels, among many other changes. Visually, the Spyder's design is distinct, with unique front and rear styling, including a more aggressive front fascia and a prominent 'double bubble' panel on the rear of the car. Inside, the 981 Spyder retains a stripped-back, driver-focused interior, with Alcantara upholstery and sportier touches. Together, these upgrades elevate the Spyder as a purer, more thrilling version of the Boxster. Just 227 cars were supplied to the UK, making them much rarer than a 981 GT4 and as a fun road car, the Spyder is probably the best options compared to the even more hardcore GT products.

This example is finished in the classic colour combination for a Spyder, harking back to James Dean's 550 Spyder, of GT Silver Metallic with Bordeaux Red leather and black Alcantara carbon folding bucket seats. The car has covered less than 15,000 miles from new and has been serviced exclusively by Porsche main dealers, most recently in April 2025 by Porsche Centre, High Wycombe. This example is specified with the Spyder classic package, sports exhaust, Bose surround sound, PCM, DAB radio, 20” Spyder wheels, Bi Xenon auto dimming headlights and light design package. The car has been ceramic coated with G-Techniq coating and the overall condition of the car is excellent. Supplied to auction with stamped service book and owner's manuals, V5C registration document and MoT test certificate. You would really struggle to find a better car to enjoy a road trip in this summer than a 981 Spyder and a low mileage, well specified example like this is a sure-fire future classic.
