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.
