Design Brief--Remake of the famous racing 1950's Porsche, the 550 RSK Spyder.
-Uses the Boxster platform that has been 'decontented' and lightened.
-Cost is kept down, so while faster than a boxster, it costs less.
-limited production
-serious drivers only, as even a radio is left out. No AC, no power anything.
-Raw power, its all about the driving.
-drive on weekdays, race on weekends!

Specifications-
Boxster based "Sunday Racer/Monday Driver" ; Minimalist design rebody of boxster's mid engine design (like orig. 356 and later 550 and RS/RSK's from 50's and 60's).
NO AC, No radio, No top, door handle inside release, small barely legal racing windshield (removable), little or no trunk.Competes with Lotus Elise.Uses non-S Boxster engine, at least initially to keep wght, and cost down.RS for ‘Rennsport’ - ‘Motorsport’ in German - is one of the most evocative designations in the history of Porsche. Among its many connotations are precision and performance, each refined to their purest form. The latest example offering all this and more is the new 911 GT3 RS...and soon, the reborn RSK.
Cost 35k (45k Boxster). Limited production to 2k-3k, more later if sells. To race in various SCCA and other venues, incl. 24 Huers Du Mans. Possibly a sanction RSK race series, sponsored by the co.
RSK uses the 2.7L boxer 6, 245hp. 0-60 in 4 sec. (6.3 boxster); top speed, 160 (no top, but with cover for all but driver seat area)wght=2200 (boxster 2900)
Later Variations, possibly:
RSK 3.4S uses boxster S 3.4L 6, 295 hp (0-60 in 3.5 sec.)RSK 3.6GT3 "Black Widow" uses 911 GT3 RS 3.6l boxer 6, 415hp, 0-60 in 2.5sec. (50-60K cost). Top speed with competition 'capsule' (sim. to fighter jet) roof, 200mph.
