This One-Off Concept Is Awesome<\/h2>\n

Porsche often builds concepts to push the limits of its vehicle types and see how far it can take something. The Porsche<\/a> Boxster Bergspyder you see here uses the 981 Boxster as its base.<\/strong> The car was to be as lightweight and minimalist as possible. The team tasked with building this car immediately turned to the Porsche 909 for inspiration. <\/p>\n

For those who don’t know the legendary Porsche 909<\/a> was the lightest Porsche ever used. With that as their guide, the team built the Boxster Bergspyder as a one-seater, roofless, door handless car designed to be as lightweight and extreme as possible.<\/strong> The car gets a short wind deflector for the driver. Where the passenger would usually go, there’s nothing there, just more bodywork. <\/p>\n

Powering the car is the same six-cylinder engine that powers the Cayman GT4<\/a>.<\/strong> It makes a strong 388 hp which will drive this lightweight machine down the road with authority. The 0-60 mph time should be four seconds and Porsche says the car should be able to lap the Nurburgring in just 7:30. <\/p>\n

The cabin of the car features many elements from the 918 Spyder. The car’s bucket seat was taken from the 918 as well. It’s a very minimalist cabin, but then, in a car like this, you don’t need much. This vehicle is built for high-speed laps and feeling the wind whip around you. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s hard to sell a car like this due to modern safety standards. Porsche never moved forward with it due to those reasons. The car will forever be a one-off concept. We’d love to see it as a production model, though. <\/strong><\/p>\n
