TEST DRIVE 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder by Dan Heyman Recently, I sampled the 2015 Porsche Boxster GTS. It was finished in Carmine Red with black wheels, to match the black “GTS” and “Spyder” scripting gracing the bodywork. It has a six-speed manual transmission. It had an Alcantara suede-lined interior. It was fantastic. So fantastic, that I had no problem proclaiming it as not just one of the best cars I’d ever driven, but the best car I’d driven. The Spyder—finished here in Carrara White with unique 20-inch wheels—is the most powerful Boxster we’ve seen from the factory yet. 6 THE DRIVER
