MSRP: $47,600 - $58,000
Overview
The two seat, open-air Porsche Boxster, in summary, is elemental. The Boxster is a coveted Porsche, just as the famed Spyder 550 made famous by none other than James Dean, the Boxster sports a body that is aggressive and low slung. It has a mid-mounted, optimized, V-6 engine; it grips the road at every turn, and it has amazing responsiveness. The chassis is well appointed and the car is unmatched in its segment to date.For fans of the Porsche, the Boxster is ideal. It sports a six-speed manual tranny or an optional PDK seven speed dual clutch auto gearbox. You will soon be shifting like a professional racer as you smoothly flow through down and up shifts with magic-like fluidity. The PDK gearbox lends technological mastery to this full bodied vehicle too.No doubt, the Porsche Boxster has a chassis that screams "I'm a sports car." The interior and exterior are heavenly. The steering is sublime. On the road grippage is spectacular. The Boxster has perfected front and rear balance too so your drive is also silky smooth.
The all-new Boxster gets another bump in output to match the hardtopS at 320 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Weight for this highest-performance Boxster variant is trimmed to just 2,811 pounds, 176 pounds lighter than the Boxster S it's based on. That's enough to clip 0.2 second off the 0-60 mph times. A standard limited-slip differential and 20 mm lower sport suspension make the even more responsive. To get the weight savings, though,offers some concessions to comfort; the air conditioning is removed, and lightweight seats replace the comfortable but heavy standard-issue items. External weight-saving changes include the removal of daytime running lights and fog lamps, and the electric-powered soft top is swapped out for a manual version.
