Overview

Widely regarded as one of the finest open-top sports cars of its generation, the 2015 Porsche Boxster (981) features sleek styling inspired by the contemporary 911. With a lightweight chassis and a perfectly balanced mid-engine layout, the 981 Boxster delivers an engaging driving experience with everyday usability.

The naturally aspirated 2.7-litre flat-six produces approximately 265 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque and is available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or Porsche's excellent seven-speed PDK transmission, which this particular example has. Performance is strong, while the distinctive flat-six soundtrack and, thanks to the PASM system, agile and precise handling provide excellent stopping capabilities.

Inside, this Boxster comes with the optional Black leather package, offering a high-quality cabin, supportive leather heated sports seats, and practical front and rear luggage compartments. Also included is the desirable Chrono Pack, featuring selectable driving modes, a dash-mounted stopwatch, cruise control, and satellite navigation.

With its combination of sharp handling, open-top enjoyment, and naturally aspirated character, the 981 remains one of the most desirable modern Porsche roadsters and is increasingly noted as becoming a future classic, especially low-ownership and low-mileage examples such as this.
