Though inspired by the 550 Spyder, Porsche’s first purpose-built racecar that made its competitive debut in 1955, and by the RS60 racer that followed, the Boxster is not merely a retro vehicle.

Porsche unveiled its Boxster in concept form on the international auto show circuit in 1993 and began development of the thoroughly modern new model that expanded its company’s range to include both its famous 911 and the lower-priced roadster. Later, Porsche further expanded its lineup with the Cayenne® sport-utility vehicle and the Carrera GT, a 200-miles per hour (320 km/h) supercar.

Now come the second-generation 2005 Boxster and Boxster S, both equipped with Porsche Stability Management as standard equipment. Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes and Porsche’s Sports Chrono Package are available for those who seek the most dynamic yet affordable driving experience.
