About this specific vehicle
THE MODEL
- The Porsche Boxster 986 was the first generation of Porsche’s mid-engined sports car, produced from 1996 to 2004. The car was designed as an entry-level model, aimed at attracting younger buyers to the Porsche brand.
- Development of the Boxster began in the early 1990s, with the goal of creating a modern version of the classic Porsche 550 Spyder.
- The Boxster was unveiled at the 1996 Paris Motor Show and immediately received critical acclaim for its sleek styling, balanced handling, and lively performance. In its first guise it featured a 2.5-liter flat-six engine that produced 201 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, with an optional Tiptronic automatic transmission available.
- Over the years Porsche made several updates to the Boxster, including a more powerful 2.7-liter engine, and a 3.2-litre ‘S’ model in 2000.
