“The Porsche Boxster S is one of the most enjoyable performance cars available at any price. Dynamically the Porsche Boxster S is still the king of the roadster brigade. No rival comes close to matching its overall balance, adjustability, composure and superb braking ability. Better to look at, better to drive, cleaner and greener and yet more powerful. The new Boxster S is a brilliant car, we could also say the same about the Cayman, but what you can’t say about the coupe is how good its roof is. Let the Boxster’s hood fold away and suddenly you’ve added a new dimension to the whole car. We love it.”
CAR Magazine, 2009
Background
The Boxster was Porsche’s first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the iconic (and now priceless) 1950’s 550 Spyder. The flat-six, mid-engine layout in the Boxster provides a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution, and neutral handling. The 987 version of the Porsche Boxster was introduced in 2005.
The front and rear bumper were redesigned along with new front and rear lights. The side intakes and wheel arches were enlarged from the original 986 Boxster. The interior was also updated dramatically in line with the 997 series 911.
Exterior
Our hand selected Porsche Boxster S looks stunning in its metallic coat of Seal Grey Metallic, an optional colour for the car. The striking 19-inch Carrera S lightweight alloy wheels have original coloured Porsche crests, and are a perfect contrast to the red brake callipers. The paintwork condition is excellent, with no blemishes on any panel. The Boxster S has been waxed with Autoglym High Definition Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. The Metropole Blue hood has been cleaned and treated with Autoglym Hood Protector. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture buildup. The fabric roof material is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. It folds down and raises perfectly. The rear window in the hood is glass and has heating, a benefit of being a 987 Boxster. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should.
Interior
The Ocean Blue leather seats and rest of the interior leathers are in excellent condition and provide a perfect pairing to the Seal Grey metallic bodywork and Metropole Blue convertible hood. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout.
Engine and Transmission
Our Boxster is equipped with the 3.2 litre flat six engine. The Boxster S engine produces 280bhp and 236 lb·ft of torque. The four valves per cylinder ensure smooth power delivery through the rpm range. The axle load distribution of 47:53 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.
With its compact design and low weight, the 911 derived Getrag 6-speed manual gearbox is a simple, direct way to tap into the power of the Boxster S. The manual transmission system provides short gearshift travel and precise lever movement, giving you the highest possible level of accessibility with the minimum of fuss.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our Boxster S comes fitted with the 19-inch Carrera S lightweight alloy wheels, which are free from damage and corrosion. The brakes are phenomenal, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear. The front and rear brake discs and pads are in good condition without any lip or corrosion. The tyres are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A N1 Porsche rated high performance items with around 5mm of tread all round.
