Summary
The Boxster. A sportscar
in a league of its own.
Because it doesn’t follow

the rules; it writes them.
A roadster that is driven by an
unquenchable fire that burns within,
and sets new standards thanks to
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
Providing the driver with an
authentic driving experience.
Turning every corner into an

unforgettable experience.
And making sparks fly.
After over 60 years of roadster
history, the affair goes on.
