  • Porsche Releases Boxster and 911 Carrera Black Editions

    Two special cars are part of Black Edition series by Porsche: the 911 Carrera and the Boxter models. What do they feature? First to mention is the combination of black exterior and interior. The goal of the company is to highlight the timeless but straightforward elegance of the iconic cars. Both Black Editions share many things in common, but worthy of mentioning are the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module, automatically dimming rear-view mirrors, rain sensor, cruise control and Sport Design steering wheel, which come as a standard.

    Porsche 911 Carrera Black Edition

    As a basis for this one is used the basic model in a coupe or cabrio variant. It is propelled by a 3.4 liter flat unit, which is capable of producing 350 hp (257 kW). Available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, this special edition runs on 20-inch 911 Turbo wheels. Other special features include the LED headlights combined with the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+).

    This one is as attractive as its sibling, although it is powered by less potent 2.7 litre flat engine that produces 265 hp (195 kW). Unlike the 911 Carrera, the Boxter is offered only in a cabrio variant. And when it comes to soft top and rollover protection bar, the colour concept remains consistent.

    What’s exclusive for this special edition? It features wind deflector, which helps in avoiding undesirable turbulence, 20-inch Carrera Classic wheels and the bi-xenon headlights plus PDLS. Inside, the driver and passenger enjoy a two-zone air conditioning and heated seats, and a Sound Package Plus.

    The Black Edition series are available for the Boxter Cabrio, 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera 4 both in coupe and convertible forms. All five are currently on sale.

  • Porsche Brings the Boxter Spyder in New York

    Porshe Boxter Spyder Side View

    Porsche confidently starts the 2015 season by showing the world the revised Boxter Spyder. The supreme sports car will make debut at New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). We will be dealing with a machine that, as its predecessor, has autonomous character, which makes the Boxter a truly loved and anticipated model. Do you remember the hand-operated roof? Or the manual only gearbox? With the redesigned Spyder come not only these, but many more goodies.

    As a true and honorable member of a big family, the Spyder brings a well-known driving experience, but with a present-day technical and performance tuning. Get ready to try a beast, that comes with stiff suspension, that lowers the height with 20mm, supreme brakes, as in the 911 Carrera, tweaked steering capabilities and a 3.8Liter flat six-cylinder powerplant, with overall output of  375 hp (276 kW).

    This, in fact, is the lightest and most powerful Boxter up to date. It takes 4.5 seconds to reach from 0 to 100 km/h with a top speed of 180 km/h. The overall fuel consumption is calculated to 9.9L/100 km (28mpg).

    And when it comes to driving experience, the Porsche team knows how to bring smile on your face. The interior atmosphere makes you feel the character of the car, as it brings that prime and pure sport car feel. The lightweighted seats come with wider side supports, and the steering wheel is with a diameter of 360 mm – especially made to ensure great agility and response.

    As in the spirit of a sport car, the Spyder doesn’t include radio or air conditioning systems, so the overall weight is further reduced. However, you can order them at no cost. In fact, you can get a whole pack of audio system that can be installed in any model of the Boxter line. The Porsche Communication Management system is also included in the optional sets.

    Porsche Boxter Spyder will be on sale in July. You can make orders directly from the Porsche Centers.

  • 211 Horsepower Porsche Boxster Offered in Europe

    Not so regular version of the Porsche Boxster leaked through the webpage of Porsche Belgium. The car is powered not by its typical 4-cylinder engine, but by a 2.7 flat-six engine. The unit is producing 211 horsepower which equates to 155 kW. In fact, the car was unofficially unveiled on the site, because it hasn’t been yet confirmed by the German manufacturer.

    The official figures “speak” that with this engine the Boxter will be capable of delivering 280 Nm (206 kW) at 4500–5300. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) is estimated at 6.4 seconds with manual transmission. The same time is covered in 6.1 seconds when the Porsche is equipped with the PDK automatic transmission. The top speed rated at 245 km/h (152 mph) and 243 km/h (151 mph) respectively.

    Furthermore, as we can see from the site, the Boxter will have Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), which is an optional system for increasing dynamic performance and stability. PTV varies the distribution of torque to the rear wheels and includes a mechanically locking rear differential.

    For enhanced efficiency the model is equipped with intelligent electrical system recuperation. The vehicle battery is recharged by the generator predominantly under braking. Due to this selective recharging, when the driver request full driving power the maximum possible output can be directed straight to the road.

    Clear glass halogen headlights are fitted as standard on the Boxster. In addition, the Boxster S will get standard Bi-Xenon headlights. On both models, LED daytime running lights and position lights are housed in a separate auxiliary light unit above the outer air intakes. All Boxters will also come equipped with automatic headlight activation as standard.

    As an option, Porsche is offering the Bi-Xenon headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS). PDLS comprises of Bi-Xenon headlights with halogen main-beam headlights, a head- light cleaning system and automatic dynamic range control, delivers uniform illumination of the road whether dipped or main beam is selected.

    Porsche Boxster with 211 hp is still not official confirmed, but the model is already on sale in Belgium and has a starting price of 52,030 Euro (circa 67,500 USD).

  • Techart Individualizes Porsche 981 Boxster

    Techart-Porsche-981-Boxster-THUMBTechart Porsche 981 Boxster individualization program will turn around the perception of what a sports car would look like. Techart studio is offering the drivers a range of options for making their Boxster into one-of-a-kind vehicle.

    A lot of refinement options are included here – from light alloy and forged wheels to the exclusive exterior and interior styling packages. A vary special feature is Techart’s light alloy and forged wheels in 21-inch size. If you wonder for the reason, well this is because they give the Porsche unique and even sportier look.

    Two options are available: the classical five spoke design of Formula light alloy wheels or the dynamic double spoke design of the Formula III forged wheels. A weight reduction of about 40 % regarding to alloy wheels in the same size means lower unsprung masses which actually gives the car optimized agility and handling.

    Moreover, the Techart twin tailpipes which are made of polished stainless steel in a classic rounded design and the individually colored exterior packages, perfectly complement the Porsche. In addition Techart’s sound muffler and sport exhaust system with valve control guarantee acoustic support in the sporty coupe.

    The exterior of the car is rounded off by Techart’s sport spring kit and a lowering of 30 mm at the front and 20 mm at the rear axle. Of course, the tuners haven’t forgotten the interior. Here, a full leather interior with a decorative stitching in combination with the Techart’s styling packages perfectly fit the unique visual stance of the Boxter.

    Attention to the detail has been provided, and of course the tuning company couldn’t go without selected carbon fiber packages, which provides sporty and high quality touch. In connection with the ergonomically mounted paddle shifters, the 3-spokes sports steering wheels delivers precision control over the vehicle and allow simple and fast gear changes with maximum driving pleasure.

    The tuned Porsche Boxster will make its World premiere at the Essen Motor Show this year, which will take place from the 1st to the 12th of December.
