evo magazine’s Jethro Bovingdon and Richard Meaden recently headed over to the Bedford Autodrome armed with high-speed ragtops from Audi and Porsche. Powered by a 3.4 L flat-six developing 239 (320 hp), the nimble Boxster Spyder can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) is just 4.8 seconds, while the weightier R8 needs a 316 kW (430 hp) 4.2 L V8 to match that time.
