The Panamera is no stranger to uncharted territory. It dares to be the first sports car that seats four. But on top of seamlessly integrating an executive-class second row, it also boasts pure, unadulterated performance. Both in its unyielding horsepower and its precision handling. Above all, deserving of its own place in the Porsche family. Porsche. There is no substitute.

I-SPY-d……..er
In November of 2008, Porsche chose the Los Angeles International Auto show to debut the 987 Generation 2 Boxster. For 2009, Porsche brought the Boxster Spyder for public introduction at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Pardon the yawn. The anticipation was greater than the realization.
When rumors began circulating of a lighter, faster Boxster, my head snapped around faster than 944 in wet snow. Could this be what I’ve been asking for…. for…a LOT of years? If you’ve followed the evolution of the Boxster line (986 to 987 to 987 Gen2), you know the car put on poundage like a college freshman. Finally, Porsche looked to make a move in the right direction.
Porsche sent the heavyweights for the lightweight debut in LA, including Detlev von Platen, President and Chief Executive of Porsche North America. Drawing from his speech and the Porsche Press Release:
“Weighing in at just 2,811 lbs., the new 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder will be the lightest Porsche available – from a company known for lightweight, proficient sports cars. This new mid-engined roadster represents the true, purist form of the sports car – agile, powerful, open and efficient. This third Boxster model will join the Boxster and Boxster S ... This new mid-engine Porsche represents the purist form of the roadster sports car, meaning it is agile, powerful, open and efficient ... The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-liter six- cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle.

Aluminum door skins and light- Spyder and STILL spend less than a Boxster S. And on the weight interior door panels from the 911 GT3 RS contribute subject of spending less and getting more, Porsche to the weight reduction ... issued a Press Release at the LA show introducing its new Lightweight Battery Option. To quote: “Weighing less Porsche’s engineers equipped it with a lightweight than 13 lb, the new battery is more than 22 lb lighter than manual soft top meant for protection only; it is there a conventional battery. The new lithium-ion battery will be to be deployed on those occasions when the elements available as an option as of January 2010 for the 911 GT3, absolutely demand it ... 911 GT3 RS, and Boxster Spyder and is delivered with the car. It is priced at $1,700.” Uh Huh. SEVENTEEN WHAT? In all, the new two-seater is 176 lbs or 80 kg lighter than the I replaced the Boxster battery with a decent lightweight (apx Boxster S. With its unladen weight of 2,811 lbs or 1,275 kg, 20 pounds) for $120. Serious weigh-losers can replace the the Boxster Spyder is indeed the lightest model within the standard battery with an ultralight (viable alternatives that entire range of Porsche cars, with a power-to-weight ratio weigh as little as 7 pounds) for $300. beneath the magic limit of 4 kg/hp. To be precise, the power- to-weight ratio is 3.98 kg/hp (8.77 lbs/hp), far less than the I’m also quite certain Porsche will sell the full production run power-to-weight ratio of, say, the 911 Carrera S .... of Boxster Spyders. Of course, they sold plenty of Cayennes, and look poised to sell quite a few Panameras.

So perhaps there still to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Top track speed is 166 mph – with is hope that a true Club Sport Lightweight Boxster may turn the roof open.” up. As for this Spyder, I have to sit this one out.
But let’s take a closer look at what many in the Automotive Media are gushing about. The body styling change, in my Mainstream Los Angeles opinion, is an improvement. The two cowling/bumps on The Los Angeles International Auto show, by most the rear that stretch from the passenger compartment to the accounts has still not returned to ‘form’ of previous years, tailights gives the Boxster Spyder a more finished look, but the mood was far more enthusiastic than last year. reminiscent of the Carrera GT.

In standard trim, the Spyder has neither a radio nor air conditioning. All of this (except for the top) are … or rather WERE great ideas ... FIVE YEARS AGO ... about the time I and some other Boxster owners began contemplating ideas for weight reduction.
For the sake of comparison, a Boxster S (3.4L 6speed, 310HP, 2987 Lbs) has an MSRP of 56,700. A standard version Boxster (2.9L, 6 speed, 295HP, 2943 Lbs) has an MSRP of 46,600. Misusing the “less is more” philosophy, however, Porsche elected to price the ‘de-contented’ Spyder at $61,200 US---a $4500 premium over the Boxster S. I won’t bother doing the detailed math, but I’m 100% certain I could take a standard Boxster, replace the seats with a light-weight www.pca-chicago.org 20 February 2010 included the Audi E-tron, the Mazda 2, the Ford Fiesta, the Chevy Cruze, and Honda Accord Crosstour. The fact that Curiously, (and sadly, given that it was Southern California, manufacturers had new offerings was encouraging. The after all), notable absences included Ferrari, Lamborghini, actual cars unveiled... not so much. Take the Mazda 2, for and Bentley. Which is not to say there weren’t plenty of instance. The draped version was more interesting. sports cars to gawk at. Lotus brought their latest offering, the Evora in several colors and configurations. The Evora is sometimes referred to as the 2+2 version of the Lotus Elise (my fair-weather ride). I call it the 2+too much version. The Evora took a Boxster-like detour on its way to the frame stretcher. The Elise tips the scales at less than 1900 pounds. The Evora adds a back seat, a few more creature comforts, a slightly bigger motor, and (somehow) rolls out the door at over 2900 pounds. Might as well be 29000 ... or to put it another way ... I have to sit this one out.
Ford was officially debuting the Fiesta … but you wouldn’t know it from the way it buried it behind a couple of Volvos. I had a chance to drive the Fiesta in Las Vegas at SEMA a few weeks ago --- another perfectly nice functional hatchback, with about the same level of eye-appeal as the undraped Mazda 2.
If nothing else, the Honda Crosstour was eye-catching. Of course you couldn’t get close to it without hearing repeated remarks, “The NEXT Pontiac Aztek”. Credit Honda with taking a chance --- after hundreds of ‘hits’, the Crossdress … err, Crosstour, is a swing and a miss. www.pca-chicago.org 21 February 2010 Firsthand ...
Some other interesting (which will henceforth be read as while displaying brilliantly crafted sportscars, appears EXPENSIVE) cars were offerings from Lexus, Fisker, poised to take ... Saab (off of GM’s somewhat incompetent Spkyer and Viper. Lexus brought its LFA super car to hands). Viper, which appears headed for independence from LA -- the ‘super’ part being mostly the price –approaching the somewhat incompetent hands of Chrysler (nee, Fiat), $400,000. Fisker appears poised to take the lead away from sent a best-for-last effort --- the future of these beasts are Tesla with it’s hybrid sportscars. Spyker, on the other hand, truly unknown.
www.pca-chicago.org 22 February 2010 Speaking of somewhat incompetent, I accidentally happened across the 2011 Chevy Volt. The car isn’t exactly a stunner on the outside, but inside is what counts. The Volt runs on batteries (approximately a 40 mile range) and then uses a gas powered generator to produce electricity to power it for hundreds of miles (unlike hybrids by Honda The Chicago International Auto Show 2010 is and Toyota that actually switch between a battery-electric February 12-21. Porsche (among others) will be there. The drive train and a gas engine+transmission drive system). Boxster Spyder will (should) be there. I’m not a big fan of hybrids or electrics … but I really want I’ll be there. Prove me wrong. this one to succeed. I believe it to be a sounder, simpler, more efficient means of propulsion (compared to the hybrids presently produced by Honda and Toyota). GM had (has?) a head start in the field of hybrids (the GM EV1, produced form 1996 to 1999) and yet managed to lose the market to Toyota and Honda.
Question to GM: WHY THE HECK WASN’T THE VOLT GIVEN A FEATURE/SPOTLIGHT DISPLAY AT LA?
Take a page from Audi – the Audi e-tron was placed on a platform that you could not miss. Someone pay GM marketing a visit and give them a swift kick in the trunk. The Volt technology is poised to carry GM for the long term ... and for GM, that may be 2015 or 2016 if they bungle this.
Back over at VW, I was able to get my first look (in person) at the VW Uplite. VW (new parent to Porsche) needs to ‘bor- row’ a design engineer from Porsche. Yet another one that I would ‘sit out’. www.pca-chicago.org 23 February 2010 Backroads: 1981 Jim Jacisin [email protected]

If you plan to participate in our Chicago Region Autocrosses or in our Driver’s Education events at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, Road America, Autobahn and GingerMan, you should attend this first driving event of the year. Chaired once again by Ed Leed and Christy and Ed Russ, our Autocross Driver School is a fun, must attend event for new members and anyone who just bought his or her first Porsche! This driver education event is an excellent opportunity for all 16 to 18 year olds in PCA’s Junior Participant Program to gain some safe hands on experience behind the wheel of their parent’s Porsche as well. For Junior Participant Program info and waiver forms, log on to www.pca.org/members and click on library. What is an Autocross? An Autocross is a low speed competition event requiring precision and skill as you negotiate a tight course marked by rubber pylon cones. From tight, low speed slalom sections to short bursts up to 50 or 60 MPH, the action is fast and furious. Quick reflexes and finesse are more important than huge horsepower. An Autocross abuses your nerves more than your Porsche, so it will not destroy your budget or your car. However, please be aware that Autocrossing may be habit forming and lead to doing things with your Porsche that it was designed to do. We offer a ninety-minute class discussing the fundamentals of high performance driving. Following the classroom session, you will receive personal instruction at the skid pad, braking practice, slalom and ninety degree turn exercises. Finally, we will coach you as you drive a complete Autocross course at your own speed. Times will not be taken because this is an educational not a competition event. This event will run Rain or Shine. The skid pad is much more fun when it is wet!
