2022 Porsche Boxster 25 Years

2022 Porsche Boxster 25 Years

Published April 7, 2023 by Andrew

Last year we saw the surprise unveiling of the Porsche Boxster 25 Years which was pretty self-explanatory in terms of what it was all about. It was a 718 Boxster with some special touches to celebrate the original Boxster that debuted in 1997 and most importantly, drive more hype for the brand. Just 1,250 examples were produced and thankfully used the 4.0-liter from the 718 GTS. Just three colors, GT Silver Metallic, Jet Black, or Carrara White, and standard gold wheels. Inside, Bordeaux Red or black leather. The rest of the options were up to you but most were equipped with a handful of nice stuff that pushed the sticker price well over $100,000. I know it sounds crazy to spend that kind of money on a Boxster, but think of this more as a GTS that is individually numbered and has a bunch of equipment only offered on 1,250 cars. Doesn’t seem so crazy anymore.

This example is one of the GT Silver Metallic cars with a Bordeaux Red top and matching interior that I favor given it is closest to the actual concept car. Even better? This is a 6-speed example.

Sometimes the small details make all the difference. Thanks to Porsche, you can do that as long as you pay them lots of money. Today’s car, a 2021 718 Spyder, pays tribute to the previous Boxster Spyder that flew under the radar to most but that doesn’t mean they aren’t appreciated. Once we open the doors you’ll know what I mean.

2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

2022 Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT

Published August 10, 2022 by Andrew

The world wasn’t ready for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT. When the numbers came out, everyone wondered if they were actually possible. So it has 631 horsepower and 626 lb-ft of torque. We’ve seen those numbers a bunch of times out of big SUVs and trucks. That isn’t the impressive part. The silly part is that this 4979-pound SUV does 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and can lay a quarter mile run of 11.1 seconds. Not only straight line speed, but it also recorded a 7:38.9 Nordschleife lap time. That is faster than the 997 Porsche 911 GT3. What is going on here?

2022 Porsche Boxster 25 Years

2022 Porsche Boxster 25 Years

Published November 18, 2021 by Andrew

It is hard to believe that the original Porsche Boxster is turning 25 years old in 2022. When the concept was pitched back in the mid-90s, lots of people thought it was going to be a modern 550 Spyder, but in reality it was more like a 914. Performance was extremely lacking and the styling that was shown during the concept ending up getting beaten to death by the engineers and accountants when it was all said and done. Now 25 years later, the Boxster is a serious performance car with the GTS 4.0 and the 718 Spyder hatched by the GT department. Of course, Porsche never being one to pass up a special edition, they launched the Boxster 25 Years. Yeah, that is the name.

Just 1,250 will be made in either GT Silver Metallic to mimic the original concept, as well as Jet Black and Carrara White. All have the gold wheels and gold accents, and the interior can either be black leather or the Bordeaux Red. From there, go nuts with your typical 718 options – although the carbon buckets aren’t offered. For the powerplant, they went with the 4.0 from the GTS, not the 4.0 from the GT4/Spyder. Still, that is absolutely nothing to complain about with 394 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque, along with a 0 to 60 mph time in 4.1 seconds with the PDK gearbox. That is really fast. Starting price is just over $100,000, which is just $2,000 more than the 718 Spyder if you can believe that. This example up for sale in North Carolina with just 36 miles? We might have a new leader in the clubhouse for mark-up.

2020 Porsche 718 Spyder

2020 Porsche 718 Spyder

I think sometimes I take for granted the freedom Porsche gives us on configuring cars. When it comes down to it, they’ll basically give you anything you want for the right price, and then even more if they really like you. In the modern era of lean manufacturing and just-in-time production, doing one-off builds for customers probably doesn’t make sense on paper. Yet if someone wants “Kills bugs fast.” on a door sill, they’ll do it. It gets even more complicated and time consuming when it comes to interiors with order special leathers then having someone hand-stitch the turn signal stocks. The ROI has to be enormous for Porsche both in profit and customer loyalty to continue this practice in 2020.

However, it is one thing to do it when customers are paying extra for it, and another when doing it on dealer stock cars. This 2020 718 Spyder on a dealer lot in California has a wild Bordeaux Red and black interior that is mirrors the interior of the previous Boxster Spyder nearly 10 years ago. Truth be told, this color combo isn’t for everyone.
