Porsche Boxster

The Porsche 986 is the internal designation for the first generation Boxster, a mid-engine two-seater roadster built by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. Introduced in late 1996, the Boxster, based on the 1993 Boxster Concept, was Porsche's first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the Porsche 914.

Powered by a 2. 5-litre flat six-cylinder engine, the base model was upgraded to a 2. 7-litre engine in the year 2000 and a new Boxster S variant was introduced with a 3. 2-litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. The 986 was succeeded by the 987, which retained the Boxster roadster and added the Cayman fixed-roof coupé body style....
