Porsche Boxster S (type 987)

The second generation of the Boxster S is characterised by its powerful and dynamic design language and a new, more powerful drive. Visually, the Boxster S differs from the Boxster, among other things, in the twin tailpipes, the Silver logo and the brake callipers painted in Red.

The engine output was increased over the course of production from 295 PS to 310 PS. Like the Boxster, the Boxster S is available with either a manual transmission or Tiptronic S, which was replaced by the PDK in the 2009 model year.
