The Porsche 987.2 Boxster S (2009-2012) is the high-performance variant of the second-generation Boxster. The 987.2 Boxster S features a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six (MA1.22) producing 310-320 horsepower. Power is delivered through 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission to the rear wheels. Performance includes 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds with 170 mph top speed. The 987.2 generation eliminated the problematic IMS bearing, improving reliability. The mid-engine layout provides near-perfect weight distribution and exceptional handling. The Boxster S combines naturally aspirated flat-six character with open-air driving, precise handling, and Porsche engineering excellence in a practical convertible sports car package.
