There are a variety of superlatives that the 2008 Porsche Boxster conjures: exhilarating, dynamic, balanced, and pure. As a mid-engined, two-seat, rear-wheel drive roadster, it embodies a pure driving experience and offers a real connection between the driver and the automobile.

Available as the standard Boxster, the sharper, more powerful Boxster S, or a new Limited Edition Boxster, it offers a driving experience that is nothing short of visceral. The fun begins with a 2.7 liter flat six-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 201 lb.-ft. of torque for entertaining acceleration. Boxster S models ramp things up with a 3.4 liter flat six-cylinder engine producing 295 horsepower and 251 lb.-ft. of torque for excellent off-the-line and high-speed thrust. Either engine can be mated to a silky 6-speed manual transmission or a world-class Tiptronic transmission that offers five gearshift patterns and manual shifting ability without a traditional clutch.

The braking system is truly formidable with a standard Anti-lock braking system, 4-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes which imbue the Boxster with supreme braking power and minimize wheel lockup. An available Bi-Xenon lighting system with washer system creates greater illumination than the standard halogen bulbs while using less power. Standard Porsche Stability Management uses a range of sensors and Automatic Brake Differential and Anti-Slip Regulation to maintain traction and stability during evasive maneuvers. The optional Sport Chrono Package offers selectable driving modes that tune the Boxster to satisfy your driving demands.

The new Limited Edition Boxster is available in either trim level and features a race inspired 911 GT3 RS-Orange finish, black wheels and exterior mirrors, and roll-over bars in orange among other unique interior features. Standard Boxster features include a power convertible top with a heated glass rear window that opens or closes in 12 seconds. An optional hardtop is made from robust aluminum and offers all-weather protection.

Inside, the Boxster feature standard automatic full climate control, an available BOSE® Surround Sound System and CDR-24 CD radio for amazing sound quality, and the standard Porsche Communication Management system, which integrates the stereo system, trip computer, and available GPS navigation system. A choice of available Sports Seats, Adaptive Sports Seats, or Sports Bucket Seats offer excellent support and comfort.

Embodying the pure roadster spirit, the 2008 Porsche Boxster offers thrills and excitement best experienced on a long stretch of open road.
