ENGINEERED FOR THE THRILL OF EVERY CORNER
Bovensiepen
Spider
The Bovensiepen Spider is a two-seater designed without compromise for driving pleasure, combining classic sports car proportions with modern powertrain technology, contemporary crash safety and craftsmanship, entirely in the spirit of ‘Fine Driving’. The limited production run of just 99 hand-built cars underlines its exclusive character.
CLASSIC PROPORTIONS – TIMELESS DESIGN
READY
FOR EVERY CURVE.
The body of the Bovensiepen Spider follows the classic proportions of a front-engined sports car: a long bonnet, a cockpit set far back and short overhangs.
As with the Bovensiepen 05 GT, the design of the exterior components was developed in collaboration with the renowned automotive designer Frank Stephenson.
The inline six-cylinder engine has been regarded as one of the most fascinating power units for a roadster. Powerful, refined and yet comparatively light, it offers the ideal conditions for an exhilarating open-top sports car concept. What matters is not the peak power output, but the power-to-weight ratio of 3.6 kg per PS and the refined and harmonious delivery of power.

DRIVETRAIN AND PERFORMANCE
POWERFUL, REFINED & HARMONIOUS
A prerequisite for the above performance figures is that the engine can ‘breathe’ freely. To this end, the intake air duct has been unrestricted and extended to include an additional channel (ram air). The intake silencer has been enlarged and optimised for airflow. The Bovensiepen sports exhaust system has also been optimised in terms of its flow characteristics and exhaust back pressure, whilst at the same time delivering an exhilarating, sporty sound. The optimisation of the intake and exhaust systems provided the technical basis for a targeted increase in engine power and the resulting performance.
CHASSIS
THE FINE DRIVING AGILITY
To make the most of the high-performance tyres’ potential, the suspension features newly tuned dampers; in particular, the compression stage has been increased at low damper speeds. Longer auxiliary springs on the rear axle provide a more responsive body-to-chassis connection.

PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
295 KM/H
The Bovensiepen specific rear differential cover, milled from aluminium, featuring larger cooling fins reduces the thermal load on the rear differential under very high stress and allows the top speed to be increased to 295 km/h. Part of the Performance Pack is also an optimised underbody reinforcement with a V-brace. This increases the structural rigidity and thus contributes to more precise chassis response.
