“It takes guts to tamper with an already-perfect recipe, but Porsche has done just that with the Boxster – and improved it. While the tweaks are minor, they make the Porsche Boxster GTS one of the most capable and engaging cars you can buy. You can go faster for less, but you won’t want to. Porsche is attempting to build on the already flawless package that is the Boxster S by subjecting the roadster to the racy GTS treatment. Power delivery is flawlessly linear with maximum grunt at 6,700rpm. There’s a throaty snarl from the standard-fit sports exhaust and the harder you push it through the rev range the deeper the bellow, with crackling pops and bangs when you lift off the throttle. Porsche also chucks in the PASM adaptive dampers – switch them to Sport or Sport Plus and the Boxster sharpens up around the edges, while the roadster’s appetite for corners is heightened. The Boxster GTS is about so much more than outright performance. It’s incredibly agile and precise on the road.”
Autoexpress, 2014

Background
The Porsche 981 is the internal designation given to the third-generation Porsche Boxster models built by Porsche, released in summer 2012. The 981 reflects the new design language from the 918 Spyder and 991 series 911, and features new and revised engine and transmission specifications. Together with a new body, the type 981 features a new chassis; 40 per cent more torsionally rigid, the front track is 40mm wider, the rear 18mm wider and the wheelbase extended by 60mm, but with a small weight reduction of 30kg. The 981 Boxster is the last to feature a boxer six-cylinder engine. The engine does away with the Intermediate Shaft, which proved to be a weak link in pre-2009 Boxster engines. The Boxster GTS was introduced in March 2014, it featured a more powerful engine, a new front and rear body kit, 20-inch Carrera S III alloy wheels, new Black Edition PDLS Bi-Xenon headlights, and a new sports exhaust system. The Boxster GTS is longer than the Boxster S by 30.5 mm due to its unique front and rear sculpted bumpers. 

Exterior
Our hand selected Boxster GTS looks stunning in its Special Order Pearlescent coat of Carrara White, it looks like Pearl White in the sunshine. The striking 20-inch Carrera S III lightweight alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black with Diamond Cut Edges are the perfect contrast to the Carrara White Pearlescent paintwork. The black GTS door insignia, Black Pack gloss painted trim items including front lower spoiler, front vents, headlight washers, side vents, wing mirror bases, roll-over bar and rear splitter also look fantastic against the metallic White paintwork. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the Black Edition PDLS Bi-xenon Headlights and Dark Glass LED rear lights. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should. The Black fabric hood is in excellent condition and operates perfectly, stationary and up to 40mph. It has a heated glass screen and remote key operation.

Interior
The Boxster GTS comes with full black leather Hardback Sports Seats Plus that have 3-stage seat heating and electric seat backs. The extended leather dashboard, centre console, doors and seats are in excellent condition and provide a perfect contrast to the Carrara White Pearlescent bodywork. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim parts, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout. The sleek aesthetic is topped-off with features like the White Instrument Dials, Silver Seats Belts, Sport Design Steering Wheel and PCM 3.1 touchscreen system that controls many optional features of the car (Navigation, FM and DAB Radio, DVD DOLBY 5.1 playback, Jukebox music storage of 10,000 tracks, Phone connectivity, Bluetooth music streaming, music interface).

Engine and Transmission
Our Boxster GTS is equipped with the 3.4 litre DFI flat six engine. The Boxster GTS engine produces 335bhp and 280ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 45:55 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running.

The Boxster GTS is fitted with Sport Chrono Plus Package, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the GTS.

The 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. It has four selectable modes, Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Full Manual Shifting. The combination of Sport Chrono Package Plus, Sport Design Steering Wheel with PDK shift paddles and the PCM 3.1 system, unlock additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes only available on the Boxster GTS with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the GTS to accelerate faster, 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds instead of 4.7 seconds.

Our GTS is equipped with the highly desired Porsche Switchable Sports Exhaust PSE system, which unleashes a more sporty sound both on acceleration and lift off. With SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode enabled, the sound increases further, with pops and crackles when you lift off the throttle.

This Boxster GTS has the PADM dynamic engine/transmission mounts, which electronically control the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine. By adapting stiffness and damping characteristics to changes in driving style and road surface conditions, the dynamic gearbox mounts combine the benefits that otherwise distinguish hard and soft gearbox mounting arrangements. For the driver, the results are tangible. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load-change conditions and in fast corners. Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic gearbox mounts automatically soften to enhance comfort. You experience the best of the best worlds—uncompromisingly sporty performance in corners, yet with a high degree of comfort. The Sport or Sport Plus button enables you to switch the dynamic gearbox mounts from Normal to Sport or Performance mode. In conjunction with the optional PCM, the TFT screen in the right-hand circular instrument enables you to view the lateral and longitudinal G-forces as they act on the vehicle.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our Boxster GTS comes fitted with the 20-inch Carrera S III lightweight alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black with Diamond Cut Edges, which are unmarked, free of kerbing damage and corrosion. The brakes are phenomenal, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear. The tyres are matching Porsche N0 rated Pirelli P-Zero high performance tyres with lots of tread remaining.
