Porsche Boxster S (Type 986)

In model year 1999, Porsche extended the Boxster series to include the top-of-the-range Boxster S. In visual terms, the top model only differed from the Boxster in a few ways.

The Boxster S was powered by a 3.2-litre engine, initially with an output of 252 PS, but this was enhanced to 260 PS from model year 2003.

In model year 2003, the convertible top of the Boxster series was fundamentally revised. When closed, it resembled the optional hardtop, which had an even more rounded contour.
