Special Edition Boxster S
25-Nov-2003
Porsche has just announced the creation of an exclusive 2004 Boxster S model designed to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the legendary Porsche 550 Spyder. This Boxster is styled after the 550 Spyder, with similar bodylines, mid-engine roadster configuration, low weight, excellent agility, and a high level of driving pleasure.The new Boxster S edition is equipped with the most powerful engine ever offered in the Boxster model line. Rated at 264 horsepower, the 3.2-liter flat-six cylinder power plant propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, and to a top speed of 266 km/h. Sportier suspension settings, 5 mm-wide wheel spacers on all four wheels, and standard 18-inch Carrera wheels improve handling, while a 15 percent shorter shift travel in the standard six-speed manual transmission provides quicker gear shifting.The production of the new Boxster S edition is limited to 1953 units to commemorate the 550 Spyder's introduction at the 1953 Paris Motor Show. The new Boxster S will cost around $59,900.
997 Rumors
8-Dec-2003
Rumors about the Porsche 997 are already spreading, even though there are
still months left before it is unveiled and even more time before you can
buy one. The new 911 will be wider, higher and longer with a few exterior
changes a more powerful engine which will produce around 350bhp or more. There
are rumors about the possibility of a flat-8 but they are still rumors. The
headlights may be more oval-like, similar to those of the 993, and lets hope
Porsche will surprise us with an excellent car. The prices will not vary too
much.
