Porsche Boxster 2008 Overview
The redesigned Boxster roadster was introduced in 2005, and it got the upgrated engines from Cayman for the 2007 model year. Considered the entry-level Porsche offering, the cars are powered by a 2.7-litre version of the traditional Porsche flat-six engine in their base trim, while the higher-performance S versions are powered by a 3.4-litre version of the sixer. The model is considered a benchmark for sports-car handling, with rear-wheel-drive and a choice of either a manual or a manually-shiftable automatic. Standard features include power windows, electric mirrors, 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels, among other luxury options. The Boxster offers head airbags in combination with thorax airbags, concealed on the outer side of the backrest, alongside the usual front airbags. Luggage is space is very limited, with two trunks, one in the front and one behind the mid-mounted engine in the back. The Boxster can be ordered with a removable hard top.
