This 2008 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder is #1,592 of 1,960 examples produced to commemorate Porsche’s victory at the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring and spent time in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Arizona before the selling dealer acquired it in March 2021. The car is finished in GT Silver Metallic over Carrera Red leather and is powered by a mid-mounted 3.4-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a power-operated black soft top, 19″ SportDesign wheels, the Sport Chrono package, a sport exhaust system, hardback heated seats, a wind deflector, and Bose audio.
All RS 60 models were finished in GT Silver Metallic, and this example is equipped with a black convertible top. Additional equipment includes self-washing bi-xenon headlights, a speed-dependent rear spoiler, a gloss black windshield surround, and central exhaust outlets. The convertible top transmission gears and push rods were replaced by Stuttgart Southwest of Tempe, Arizona in January 2021, and the front bumper cover is said to have been repainted under previous ownership. Paint protection film covers the front bumper cover, hood, front fenders, and mirror caps.
SportDesign 19″ wheels are fitted with Continental ExtremeContact tires measuring 235/35 up front and 265/35 at the rear. The car is equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and red four-piston brake calipers at each corner. An alignment was performed in April 2021.
The cabin is upholstered in Carrera Red natural leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets along with brushed silver trim and silver-colored seatbelts. The hardback sport seats are heated and feature Porsche crests embossed in the headrests. Other amenities include cruise control, a wind deflector, automatic climate control, and stainless steel door sills as well as Bose High-End sound and Sport Chrono packages.
A leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of an exposed instrument cluster housing a central tachometer with 7,200-rpm redline, a 190-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and a digital odometer showing just under 50k miles.
A numbered plaque located on the glovebox door shows the vehicle to be #1,592 of 1,960 examples built worldwide.
The 3.4-liter M97 flat-six is mounted ahead of the rear storage area and was rated at 303 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque when new. A factory sport exhaust system is fitted, and the selling dealer performed an oil change in April 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle.
