Porsche has gone light on it’s new Boster Spyder to improve performance.

Weight is the enemy of performance. It’s something that Porsche, with some 28,000 racetrack triumphs under its belt, knows better than most. To that end, meet the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder, the lightest model in the sports-car maker’s range. Although the standard Boxster roadster is hardly what you’d call ponderous, the 2011 Boxster Spyder drops a significant 176 pounds compared with the Boxster S. That kind of weight advantage, as any racer will attest, can make the difference between a winner and an also-ran. – From Robb Report
