Double Take: Choose Your Blue – 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder

I’ve periodically had my eye out for the latest Porsche Boxster Spyder to feature. They don’t come up for sale all that often and most times when searching I have come up empty. The few times I have come across one it either sold very quickly or I came across an auction just prior to its end. My luck has finally come good.

The Spyder is the Boxster version of the Cayman GT4 and each serves as the swan song for these naturally aspirated Porsches. Like the GT4 it borrows its 3.8-liter engine from the 911 and in this form produces a nice 375 hp all routed to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. For me it’s also the best looking Boxster Porsche has produced thus far.

Here not only have I finally found a Spyder I like, but I found two of them! Obviously, they had to be featured together. Both are paint-to-sample non-metallic blues and are very bright. I ran a similar feature a while back with two PTS GT3 RS in blue and now we turn to another of Porsche’s limited-production models. The overall spec of these Spyders is pretty similar so really it all comes down to the exterior: Voodoo Blue or Mexico Blue. Which to have?

I’ve never really taken the time to decide which of Porsche’s blues I like best. Between the Voodoo Blue and Mexico Blue we see here along with Riviera Blue and the very early Pastel Blue we have a bunch of options along a fairly narrow band of the spectrum. (And I’m sure I’m leaving out a couple.) All have their particular appeal, but without seeing them in similar lighting (and ideally in person) it can be really tough to tell them apart. None is likely to allow you to escape the notice of others.

Between these two the Voodoo Blue Spyder is the one that attracts me the most. However, much of that is down to the quality of the pictures and the lighting conditions. Also, I really don’t like the black wheels on the Mexico Blue Spyder. I like black wheels in certain applications, but apparently not on a bright blue Boxster. I think in person it would show a lot better, but probably not enough to sway me its way and away from Voodoo. The yellow contrasts in the interior also add a nice touch to the Voodoo Spyder so as a total package it’s probably the better one for me.

Asking prices here are pretty similar and both are asking a decent premium over the original sale price. That premium probably shouldn’t surprise us. Given how rarely you’re likely to come across another Spyder in one of these head-turning colors this may be one of the few times when you can choose between two so similar yet still unique examples.
