This is the special 25 Years model.

If you need to avoid a moose on the road, then a nimble sports car like the Porsche 718 Spyder is an ideal vehicle to do it. A new video from Teknikens Värld demonstrates the model's sharp handling.

Specifically, this is the 718 Boxster 25 Years model. The special edition vehicle is available in GT Silver paint that's the same shade as the Carrera GT. Gold trim decorates the front bumper, side intakes, and wheels. Inside, buyers can get Bordeaux Red upholstery, and leather covers the dashboard, center console, and windowsills.

Its 4.0-liter flat-six engine comes from the GTS trim and makes 394 horsepower. Buyers can select a manual gearbox or dual-clutch automatic. It can get to 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds.

Teknikens Värld tests vehicles at their gross weight limit. To pass the test, the model needs to go through the cones successfully at 45 mph (72 kph).

The 718 Boxster has no problem with this. The initial test is at 47 mph (75 kph), and it easily cuts through the cones. The testers say it's "totally balanced" and has lots of grip.

The roadster's highest successful speed is 49 mph (79 kph). At this velocity, there's a bit of understeer in the middle section, but the Boxster is still controllable.
