Porsche Boxter
On sale in the autumn of 2004, the new Porsche Boxster offers increased power from its proven 2.7-litre and 3.2-litre flat-six engines in addition to a host of other developments introduced with the intention of keeping the mid-engined sports car at the top of its class.
The 2.7-litre six-cylinder engine now develops 240 bhp, 42 bhp more than previously. The performance of the Boxster S, which will be launched simultaneously, has also been increased to 280 bhp from 260 bhp, while cubic capacity has remained unchanged at 3.2 litres.
The Boxster needs only 6.2 seconds to sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph), while the S model achieves this in 5.5 seconds. Top speed is 256 km/h for the Boxster and 268 km/h for the Boxster S.In addition to the power increase, a revised chassis offers greater driving pleasure and at the same time enhanced active and passive safety. Larger wheels and a wider track clearly emphasise the further development of the body shape and symbolise the increase in performance of the two models.
The new nose clearly shows the relationship with the 911 series but still features the characteristic Boxster appearance. The new lighting concept with the separation of main headlamps and front lamps with integrated fog lamps exemplifies this.
The Boxster is the first roadster in the world to offer passengers protection against lateral impact using head airbags. In combination with a thorax airbag, concealed on the outer side of the backrest, the airbag deploys from the side window rail of the door and provides a very high level of protection for the head.
