Description for 2000 Release
To produce an instant classic, Porsche designers borrowed lines from the legendary 550 Spyder in creating the stunning Boxster. To deliver the high performance that the name Porsche promises, a DOHC 24-valve, flat-6 cylinder engine was chosen and placed on the chassis just behind the seats. This perfect combination of horsepower, weight distribution and superior suspension makes the car handle like it's on rails and puts the Boxster on track to become one of the most popular Porsches ever.
