“The Porsche Boxster S is one of the most enjoyable performance cars available at any price. Dynamically the Porsche Boxster S is still the king of the roadster brigade. No rival comes close to matching its overall balance, adjustability, composure and superb braking ability. Better to look at, better to drive, cleaner and greener and yet more powerful. The new Boxster S is a brilliant car, we could also say the same about the Cayman, but what you can’t say about the coupe is how good its roof is. Let the Boxster's hood fold away and suddenly you’ve added a new dimension to the whole car. We love it."
CAR Magazine, 2009
Background
The Boxster was Porsche’s first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the iconic (and now priceless) 1950’s 550 Spyder. The flat-six, mid-engine layout in the Boxster provides a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution, and neutral handling. The facelift version of the Porsche Boxster was introduced in February 2009. The Boxster S flat six 3. 4 litre engine was completely re-designed for the gen 2, it gained direct injection and a 20bhp increase to 310bhp, compared to the first generation version. This new engine was also cleaner and more efficient, resulting in the annual road tax being £340 instead of £615, a significant saving in annual running costs. The new engine does away with the Intermediate Shaft, which proved to be a weak link in pre-2009 engines, and has new cylinder coatings which are not prone to prematurely wearing or bore scoring. The front bumper was redesigned along with new front and rear lights, with the addition of daylight running lights in the front bumper. The side vents are painted in contrasting silver and the rear bumper gained a twin diffuser style lower edge to enhance the styling further.
Exterior
Our hand selected Boxster S looks stunning in its metallic coat of Basalt Black, a striking Porsche colour in any light. The unmarked 19-inch Carrera Sport lightweight alloy wheels are the perfect contrast to the paintwork. The Boxster S has been machine polished and waxed with Autofinesse Soul Carnauba Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. It has also been G-Techniq ceramic coated and professionally detailed in the recent past. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and rear LED lights. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should. The Black fabric hood is in excellent condition and operates perfectly, we have cleaned and retreated the hood with the Autoglym Hood Cleaner and Protector Kit so it will remain in fantastic condition for the foreseeable future. The previous owner fitted Zunnsport Front Grill Grills to prevent leaves/ debris from collecting against the Aircon Condensors and Radiators. The rear spoiler has been upgraded to the Joe Toth Ducktail version, the original spoiler is included with the car.
Interior
The Boxster S comes with rare and desirable 16-way Adaptive hardback sports seats come with optional 2-stage heating and drivers seat/ mirror memory and just like the rest of the optional extended Black interior leather, are in excellent condition and provide a perfect pairing to the Basalt Black metallic bodywork. The Factory Exclusive Sports Steering Wheel has been retrimmed in Black Leather with Red Stitching and Red 12 o’clock. The seat memory function supports both exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side. There are no major marks or signs of wear to any of the trim parts, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout. The previous owner upgraded the headunit to a Sony Bluetooth DAB System with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a concealed DAB antennae. The original PCM 3. 0 headunit is fully functioning and comes with the Porsche.
Engine and Transmission
Our Boxster S is equipped with the 3. 4 litre DFI flat six engine. The Boxster S engine produces 310bhp and 266ft-lb of torque which propels the rear wheel drive sportscar to 60mph in under 5. 0 seconds and on to a 170mph top speed. The axle load distribution of approximately 45:55 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running.
With its compact design and low weight, the 6 speed manual gearbox is a simple, direct way to tap into the power of the Boxster S. The manual transmission system has been further improved with the Numeric short shift metal gear linkage cables, which are more durable than the standard gear linkage cables reduces the gearshift travel and increases the precision of changes, giving you the highest possible level of accessibility with the minimum of fuss. The original gear linkage cables are included with the car.
The Boxster S has also undergone the Revolution Porsche Exhaust Enhancement which unleashes a more sporty sound both on acceleration and lift off whilst retaining the OEM factory appearance, even underneath the Porsche as the work is carried out within the rear silencer.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our Boxster S comes fitted with the Factory Exclusive 19-inch Carrera Sport lightweight alloy wheels finished in Agate Grey Metallic with a Diamond Cut Edge, which are as new having just been refurbished by us. These wheels are highly sought after as they are the only Factory Option wheel that is 0. 5 inches wider front/ rear so they fill the wheel arches better. The brakes are phenomenal, with factory Guards Red callipers and PORSCHE lettering in white, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear with plenty of life left in them. The front brake discs/ pads and brake pipes were replaced at the last service in March 2024, along with the front suspension top mounts/ bump stops. The tyres are matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4S high performance tyres, with lots of tread remaining.
