Porsche back in black, again
Boxster S Porsche's second model to get Black treatment in as many weeksHot on the heels of the release of the Porsche 911 Black Edition comes news from Stuttgart that the drop top Boxster S will receive similar treatment.
Adding more style and substance at no additional cost, the Black Edition adds 7kW/10Nm to Boxster S' 3.4-litre engine output, taking the total to 235kW/370Nm. These figures see the open-top model shave one-tenth of a second off its 0-100km/h sprint for a new time of 5.2 seconds with the standard six-speed manual gearbox, or 5.1 seconds when optioned with Porsche's seven-speed PDK transmission.
Equipment levels are also bolstered with 19-inch black Boxster Spyder alloys, smooth leather finish with Sport Design steering wheel, Bi-Xenon headlamps with dynamic cornering function and auto-dimming mirrors.
Stylistically, Boxster S Black Edition adds an array of all-black design touches including black paintwork and features finished in black, including hood, air intakes, tailpipes, roll-over bars, instrument panel, and gear selector surround.
The special edition is designated by a boot lid-mounted badge, "Black Edition" lettering on the stainless steel sill panels, emobossed insignia on the fabric roof and a badge on the glovebox lid.
Limited to 987 examples (the convertible Porsche's model designation), deliveries of the Porsche Boxster S Black Edition will commence in April.
- Boxster S Black Edition $137,700 (PDK)
