The chic two-seater Boxster was unveiled in late 1996. The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of 'boxer-engined roadster' - the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine mounted amid-ships. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000, coincident with the introduction of the higher performance 3.2-litre 'S'. The M96 engine was directly related to that in the 996, but the newcomer also shared that car's bonnet, front wings and headlights. Suspension was independent all round by MacPherson struts and coil springs, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion. The 3.2S featured bigger wheels, upgraded braking and suspension systems and notably more performance - with 252bhp on tap and a drag coefficient of just 0.29, it could sprint to 60mph in six seconds and on to a top speed of 160mph plus. Just under 47,000 3.2-litre Boxster Ss were built between 1996 and 2003.
This apparently immaculate 3.2S was manufactured in September 2003 and equipped with climate control, wind deflector and 17-inch wheels. It is finished in Seal Grey and trimmed in Black leather, and reportedly comes with full Porsche main dealer service history to support its indicated mileage of 24,000. Ready to enjoy, 'CX53 KFG' is MOT'd to November 2013.
