Paying Homage

Porsche is celebrating the 25th birthday of its roadster family with a special anniversary model: the Boxster 25 Years. The limited edition is restricted to 1,250 units worldwide and is based on the GTS 4.0 model, which is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine with 400 PS (294 kW). It makes reference to numerous design features of the Boxster concept car that heralded the success story of the open-top two-seater at the 1993 Detroit Motor Show.

One of the most striking features of the special model is the reinterpreted colour Neodyme, a copper-like shimmering brown. In keeping with the style of the historic original, the special model combines a Bordeaux leather interior with a red fabric convertible top.

With effortless response, exceptional power delivery and a rich sound, the high-revving 400 PS (294 kW) naturally aspirated engine guarantees an especially emotive driving experience. Porsche is offering the Boxster 25 Years with a manual six-speed transmission and a seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK). The special-edition model reaches a top speed of 293 km/h and, in combination with the PDK gearbox and standard Sport Chrono package, sprints from zero to 100 km/h in four seconds. First units are expected to arrive in the market end of April 2021.
