Porsche has brought back its Boxster Spyder for the 981 generation.

As the lightest and most powerful version of the Boxster yet, the new Spyder is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine churning 375 hp and best of all – at least to automotive enthusiasts – it’ll be available exclusively with a manual transmission. The new Porsche Boxster Spyder will have a top speed of 180 mph and will be priced from $83,905 including destination.

Just to demonstrate how stripped down the Porsche Boxster Spyder is, air conditioning and a radio aren’t even listed as standard equipment, but are available as no-cost options.
