If driving is your passion, there is no substitute for the sheer inspiration of a sports car like the 2008 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S. Within an open-top, 2-seater layout sits a mid-mounted, 6-cylinder “boxer” engine, with a low center of gravity helping to instill driving confidence through the corners. Equipped with the latest Motronic ME 7.8 engine management system, results in a maximum of 295 horsepower on the Boxster S and 245 hp on the standard Boxster model. Boxster comes equipped with a lightweight 5-speed manual gearbox. An optional Sport package uses a high-performance, 6-speed manual gearbox with the Porsche Active Suspension Management. Boxster S comes standard with this revised six-speed unit. Top track speed is 169 miles per hour on the Boxster S, and 9-miles less on the Boxster.
