2008 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder Review

In 1960, Porsche created the racing successor to the 550 Spyder, and named it the 718 RS 60 Spyder. Powered by a 1.5-litre engine that developed about 150 horsepower, the RS 60 proved its worthiness on the track, with a 1-2 finish at the Sebring 12-hour race as well as winning the Targa Florio that same year. The 718 beat more-powerful rivals, such as Ferrari, thanks to its low weight and amazing agility.
