Porsche
Boxster
One unique styling feature
on both the 986 and 987 is the automatically
extending rear spoiler that extends at 75mph
and retracts at 56mph which pushes down on
the back end to increase steering control
and stability. Combining the traditional Porsche
virtues of quality, reliability, performance,
and handling, with styling reminiscent of
the larger 911 (to the point where buyers
of the 911 complained that their car looked
too similar to the Boxster), the car has been
popular both with car industry journalists
and with buyers. It was Porsche's biggest
volume seller from its introduction in model
year 1997 until the company introduced the
Cayenne SUV in model year 2003.
Porsche internally designated
the second generation of the Boxster the 987.
The 987 Boxster made its debut at the 2004
Paris Motor Show alongside the 997 911. The
car became available for model year 2005.
