When the Boxster first conquered the streets in 1996, it amazed with its tremendous thirst for freedom. With its light and agile design, it conjured p memories of mid-engined race cars, such as the 550 Spyder and 718 RS 60 Spyder – and with them, the sports car dreams of the 50s and 60s. It has repeatedly redefined the feeling of open-top driving. In addition to the name ‘Boxster’, which is made from combining ‘Boxer’ and ‘Roadster’, the idea has remained unchanged to this day: with high agility thanks to the mid-engined layout, two seats, two luggage compartments, a horizontally opposed engine with a low centre of gravity and direct responsiveness.

As such, we don’t celebrate this anniversary model with long speeches and tributes. Rather the rich sound of its powerful flat-six engine producing 294 kW (400 PS). Limited to 1,250 examples, the Boxster 25 years rises to this special occasion with a range of references to the Porsche heritage. These include air intakes in the contrasting colour Neodyme and 20-inch two-tone wheels.
