Aerodynamics and Air Guide
Aerodynamics And Air GuideOne aim in developing the Boxster Spyder was to further consolidate our leading position in the competitive field of aerodynamics. To this end, efforts focused on reducing the aerodynamic propulsion forces to take due account of the increased performance. At the same time, drag was further lowered despite the higher demands placed on the cooling system for cooling the brakes and engine.
The aerodynamic values of the Boxster Spyder have been consistently optimized to improve driving dynamics. The cd value is identical to the Boxster S and the drag is even lower due to the smaller frontal area. The outstanding aerodynamics make a significant contribution to safe handling at high speeds and to low fuel consumption.
The two longitudinal convex curves on the rear luggage compartment lid optimize drag when the convertible top is open and reduce turbulence behind the standard wind deflector.
Furthermore, the larger fixed rear spoiler and a more pronounced lip on the front spoiler both contribute to optimizing the aerodynamics.
