Boxster S vs. Boxster RS 60 Spyder: Pricing for option equivalency
Was going through some of my Porsche materials and came across this Porsche RS60 "briefing" document entitled:
"Boxster S vs. Boxster RS 60 Spyder: Pricing for option equivalency"
It nicely lays out in a succinct fashion the optional extras that came on the RS 60 (including option codes), what it would have cost to similarly equip a Boxster S, and the approximate $13K value proposition the RS 60 posed for those enamored with the package.
new to rennlist (hello everyone) ... took delivery of an RS60 a few weeks ago and took it on vacation to the Dragon for a few days.. here are some killboy shots of me having fun
and 1 I took on the Blue Ridge Parkway....

What # is this car? Mine was #800. I traded it at a dealer in Morganton NC 3 years ago. Only difference I see is yours doesn't have full colored crests on the wheel caps (I think). Believe they all came with full colored crests.

A nice reference doc for RS 60 owners.
The RS60 had unique tailpipes so the XLA option isn't correct. Still the RS60 was the best deal going in 2008, and there's not a better modern Porsche to be had for the money you can buy one for today.
That instrument cluster is certainly different. Definitely not my cup-o-tea, though. Takes garish to an all new level.
I imagine you're the only person that's ever made that statement, or ever will. It's the same cluster as every other 987, just without the hood above it. The silver is also matching GT silver. Personally I never liked the additive cluster hood which served little purpose. The RS60, being a commemorative model, included other unique components which weren't from the Porsche parts bin like the gearshift and tailpipes. I applaud Porsche for adding unique parts which is something they seem to have stopped doing. Their connection to their distant past is becoming less and less. I don't see much in the new Carrera T that was modeled after the original, aesthetically comparatively.
It’s been my daily driver for coming up on 11 years!!
She still looks the same as your pix from 11 years ago! It's great that this forum exists as a sort of "time capsule" for us newer owners. These cars still turn heads! Most people have no idea of their age. I stopped for gas the other day and the attendant asked to have me take his picture with my car.
