Budget GT3 RS Slayer: The Secret Porsche You're Missing Out On

Budget GT3 RS Slayer: The Secret Porsche Everyone's Missing Out On

Packing usable performance and value in spades, find out what makes this hidden gem, one of the most engaging Porsche sports cars ever made

The 2011 Boxster Spyder is a highly underrated sports car

A 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six powers the original 2011 Boxster Spyder. It's rated at 320 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque

The Boxster Spyder is a true enthusiast's choice because it features a 6-speed manual out of the box

The 6-speed manual should be satisfying to shift and it routes the power to the rear wheels

The Boxster Spyder is fairly quick for a RWD car, with 60 mph coming up in 5.0 seconds

Top speed is rated at 166 mph with the rood down and 126 mph with the rag top in place

The first Boxster Spyder was the lightest Porsche for its time

It weighs just 2,811 pounds, thanks to the aluminum door panels, lightweight wheels, manual roof operation, and a stripped-out cabin

The Boxster Spyder sports a beefed-up chassis

Features such as an uprated suspension, 12.5-inch front and 11.8-inch rear brake rotors, and a mid-engine configuration give the Boxster Spyder excellent weight distribution

Look at those carbon seats!

Porsche fitted the 987.2 Boxster Spyder with carbon fiber seats as standard. Surely the comfort isn't there like the other Boxsters, but the seats will keep you in place when you're full-on sending the car

The 987.2 Boxster Spyder is an affordable alternative to the 911 GT3 RS

Where a GT3 will set you back in excess of $100,000, the Boxster Spyder is attainable to most enthusiasts selling for an average price of around $66,000
