The Porsche Boxster set new standards for performance and safety in the open-top sports car market. The roadster combined the dynamic driving qualities of a sports car with unlimited day-to-day practicality. A new type of convertible top kinematics enabled the electrically operated top to be opened and closed in just twelve seconds – an unrivalled speed. The Boxster stood out from its toughest competitors thanks to its mid-engine concept with the six-cylinder flat engine typical of Porsche. The Boxster series featured water-cooled engines.

The bonnet, front headlight units with low beam and high beam, indicators and fog lights, front wings and doors were identical on the 911 Carrera and Boxster as a result of the shared parts concept.

The Porsche Boxster is a handful of fun.

The Porsche Boxster is a mid-engine two-seater roadster. It was Porsche’s first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the 914. The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996; it was powered by a 2.5-litre flat six-cylinder engine. The design was heavily influenced by the 1993 Boxster Concept. In 2000, the base model was upgraded to a 2.7-litre engine and a new Boxster S variant was introduced with a 3.2-litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants.
