Notes

The Porsche 981 Boxster S is a stunning two-door/two-seater/rear-wheel drive convertible designed by Grant Larson and assembled in Stuttgart, Germany, from 2012 to 2016. This roadster features a naturally aspirated 3.4L inline-six engine, delivering a maximum output power of 315 HP at 6700 RPM and 360Nm at 4500Rpm. Coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission, a 7-speed reworked PDK is optional, bringing this car to a 0-60 MPH acceleration time of 4.8 seconds at a top registered speed of 172.12 MPH. With fuel consumption of 8.8L/100Km, Porsche claims this new generation of Boxter offers a 15% saving compared to its predecessors.

The Porsche 981 Boxster S comes with a 41,200 price tag nowadays, which considering the status symbol this car represents, is well above its perceived value. The Porsche 981 Boxster S is a fantastic sports car with a punchy engine, impressive acceleration, and top-notch handling capabilities across-the-board. It includes stock 19-inch wheels with 235/40/R19 tires on the front and 265/40/R19 on the rear to hit the road, supported by McPherson struts and a coil springs suspension system on both axles. For braking, it has ventilated discs with a traditional ABS. The Porsche 981 Boxster S is another exhibit of Porsche's ability to combine outstanding performance with the customary elegance of the brand.
