Limited edition Porsche Boxster and Cayman models

Performance upgrades and exterior design enhancements mark out these exclusive models

By Justin Lee

LOCAL PORSCHE DISTRIBUTOR Stuttgart Auto has recently introduced the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 and the Cayman S Sport. These limited edition models are based on the existing Boxster S and Cayman S but have some performance and aesthetic tweaks to mark out their exclusive status.

Both these models are powered by a 3.4-litre flat-six engine which produces 303bhp, 8bhp more than the engines found in the respective S models they are based on.

The Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 will only be available in an exclusive Carrera White colour. To complement the white paint scheme of the car, the side air intakes, the centre console and the dials on the instrument panel are finished in the same shade. Other features of the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 are grey stripes on the exterior body panels, a grey roof, a black leather upholstered interior and 19-inch SportDesign alloy wheels.

Owners of this limited-edition Boxster will receive a Porsche Design Edition 2 Chronograph men’s wristwatch. This special timepiece takes its design inspiration from the white rev counter and speedometer spotted found on the car.

The Cayman S Sport takes its design cues from 911 GT3 model with its black alloy wheels, exterior mirrors and air intake grids. It comes in the GT3 colours of Orange and Green as standard but Black, Indian Red, Speed Yellow, Carrera White and Arctic Silver Metallic shades are available at extra cost.

Features on the Cayman S Sport include the Porsche Active Suspension Management system, 19-inch SportDesign alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, the Sports Chrono Package, sports seats, a sports exhaust system with a twin-chamber exhaust tailpipe, and alcantara finishing on the gearshift lever, the handbrake, and the rim of the steering wheel.

Prices start from $289,888 for the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2, while the Cayman S Sport retails from $317,888. All prices are inclusive of COE.
