In the 987 (Boxster Spyder and Cayman R) and 981 (Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4) versions, the convertible and coupe models had slight differences in output and suspension tuning to differentiate them. But in this generation, the only difference is whether or not the top goes down.

There are five lug nuts on every single one of the Spyder and Cayman GT4's wheels. This is in no way notable. But it is a fact.

Passages in the front fascia take in air that is then expelled as "air curtains" that smooth airflow around the front wheels.
