2011 Porsche Boxster









The 2011 Boxster is a 2-door, 2-passenger convertible sports car, available in 3 trims, ranging from the Base to the Spyder.

Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 2.9-liter, H6, 255-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. The Spyder is equipped with a standard 3.4-liter, H6, 320-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims, and a 7-speed manual transmission with overdrive is optional.

The 2011 Boxster is a carryover from 2010. 


Design.
The design of the Boxster models is governed by one philosophy above all: that the styling of a Porsche reflects its inner values. Here, the primary value is extreme performance.
This concept also follows a traditional Porsche theme: the seamless blend of function and design. Visually exciting with performance to match.
The emphasis on performance is immediately evident from the front, where enlarged air intakes in a geometric arrangement give the Boxster an even more dynamic look – and increase cooling power. On the Boxster, the air intake grilles are finished in the exterior colour, whereas on the Boxster S they are contrasted in black. The powerful design is complemented by striking spoiler lips and the two models have a drag coefficient value of 0.29 and 0.30, respectively.
At the front, the headlight design makes the Boxster models unmistakable-especially at night. Both models are fitted as standard with halogen headlights and LED daytime running lights integrated separately into the clusters above the outer air intakes. Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights, including LED daytime running lights, are available on request. The headlight design emphasises the striking contour of the wing. The rear has been restyled with a LED taillight module that blends harmoniously with the overall design. The centrally located stai.

 Character
You can tell a good concept from the fact that it isn’t just short-term. We appear to have got something right.
Because the basic concept of the Boxster has lost none of its appeal in over 60 years.
Even though the gap between the Porsche 356 No.1, the 550 Spyder and the Boxster seems huge, it’s still an out-andout roadster. High performance, lightweight construction, sporting agility, pure driving pleasure – these values are reflected in every detail.
The newly developed 2.9-litre sixcylinder Boxer engine delivers a power output of 188 kW (255 hp) at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 290 Nm at between 4,400 and 6,000 rpm.
