The Appeal
Few cars demonstrate the benefits of Porsche’s mid-engined layout quite as effectively as the 981-generation Boxster. Widely regarded as one of the marque’s finest modern sports cars, it combines beautifully balanced handling with everyday usability and the unmistakable character of a naturally aspirated flat-six.
Introduced in 2012, the third-generation Boxster brought a new platform, a longer wheelbase and revised styling, building on the strengths of its predecessor while adding greater refinement and composure. Distinct from its rear-engined 911 sibling yet every bit as rewarding to drive, the 981 remains a benchmark among modern open-top sports cars.
This example is finished in a classic silver-over-black colour combination and benefits from the fitment of the uprated Carrera S wheels as well as a recent roof treatment. Maintained on a biennial basis and commended by the seller for its condition, reliability and superb engine note, it represents an appealing opportunity for another enthusiast, and would be well suited to everything from daily driving duties to spirited weekend blasts and trips further afield.image.png2.69 MB
