Porsche Boxster / Porsche Boxster S

The Boxster, internally known as the 986/987 and/or 986 Boxster/987 Boxster is a mid-engined roadster built by Porsche. Introduced in late 1996 as a 1997 model, it is Porsche's smallest and least expensive vehicle, taking over from the 968. Early models were powered by a 201 horsepower 2.5 litre flat six-cylinder engine, although a 2.7 litre, 217 horsepower engine took over in the base model in 2000 and a Boxster S variant powered by a 3.2 litre, 250 horsepower engine became available in 2000. In 2003 a minor update gave the Boxster's 2.7-liter engine 225 horsepower and the Boxster S's 3.2-liter engine 258 horsepower. Engine output was increased again in 2005, to 240 and 280 horsepower respectively, and for 2007, the Boxster S will receive the 3.4L 295hp engine, which it will share with the new Porsche Cayman S.

Production began at the former Porsche 928 facility at Stuttgart in 1996, although a Valmet facility in Uusikaupunki, Finland also builds units under contract to Porsche in order to help meet demand. It was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in model year 1997 until the company introduced the Cayenne SUV in model year 2003.

The Boxster's name is a combination of the word 'boxer', referring to the vehicle's horizontally-opposed or "boxer" engine, and the word 'roadster', referring to the vehicle's convertible top.

The second generation of the Boxster (internally known as the 987) made its debut at the 2004 Paris Motor Show alongside the new 911 (997). The car became available for model year 2005.

The appearance of the car remains very similar to the previous generation. The most obvious styling change is the headlights which now have a profile similar to those of the Carrera GT, Porsche's midengined supercar. The intake vents on the sides of the Boxster are now larger, with more pronounced horizontal slats and are coloured metallic silver, irrespective of the paint colour on the rest of the car. The wheel arches have been enlarged to allow wheels up to 19 inches in diameter, a first for the Boxster series. The most signifiacnt updates from the 986 series are with the vastly improved interior, which now has a more coherent circular theme evident at the instrument cluster and cooling vents. Porsche claims that the 987 Boxster is 80% new compared to its predecessor, despite almost being twins from the outside. The base engine is a 2.7 L 176 kW (240 hp) flat-6, with the Boxster S getting a 3.2 L 206 kW (280 hp) engine. The Cayman series is based off the 987.

For the 2007 model year the base Boxster has received a revised engine featuring VarioCam Plus to provide a 5 hp boost (245 hp; the same as the Cayman). While the Boxster S engine was upgraded from 3.2l to 3.4l resulting in 15 more hp (295 hp; the same as the Cayman S). These upgrades made the Boxster series and the Cayman series equivalent in terms of horsepower.
