Here is a very RARE Porsche Boxster S 987 with only 23k miles. Go ahead and look around on Ebay, or any web site, to find a 987 that has the Porsche factory options as you will find on this car. Directly from Porsche, the car comes with some GREAT options, starting with my favourite, the PCCB Ceramic Brakes, an $7,500.00 option. There's more - the leather package that really dresses up the interior; Sport Chrono; PASM Porsche Active Supension Management; PSM Porsche Stability Management; Red Seatbelts; and Carrera 19 inch black wheels. These options really make this car one Rare Porsche. You may see a few of these options on a Porsche, but to have all of these goodies on one car, it's priceless. Now the perfectly balanced mid engine platform of the 987, combined with a drop top convertible, make for a truly liberating Porsche diving experience. The 987's were delivered slightly under powered from the factory, as not to rain on the Carrera 911’s parade, so I added the IPD Boxster intake plenum as this delivers increased performance that puts the Boxster S in the ring with the famed 911 Carrera. The IPD Boxster S "Competition" Plenum was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding Boxster S enthusiasts. The "Competition" Plenum is even larger and utilizes the 997 GT3 82mm throttle body allowing it to deliver even greater air flow and substantial increases in performance. Now with all of this air coming in, you need to get it flowing through each chamber and out the tailpipes. So to do this, I have added nothing other than Fabspeed exhaust. So if you are looking for a great car that has been enhanced with everything a 911 owner does not want you to have, this is your car,, whether it be for driving those mountain roads or for any car show. Evolution MotorSports continues to
provide a performance package that produces 350
horsepower versus the factory 295 horsepower calculated with a conservative 11%
drivetrain loss. This collaboration among the top Porsche tuners has brought
this project to fruition and continues to offer this bulletproof package to the
world! On Jan-20-14 at 07:38:29 PST, seller added the following information:
Many
Have requested a breakdown of the Performance options and cost, so here you go,
keep in mind there are many Porsche options that are not listed here, just some
you will not find on many Boxster S 987. Here are over $17,000.00 in options !! That
make this car very unique and RARE. Those who really know the Porsche also know of the (IMS) Intermediate Shaft failure that can be caused due to an improper design from Porsche’s engineering team. (if not google this) I have taken this 987 to Porsche of New Orleans to confirm this 987 does have the Porsche upgraded IMS bearing. Now the only way you can actually confirm this is to pull the transmission and get a visual on the IMS bearing itself, an expense many are not willing to pay for. But if the smaller bearing is installed it could be a complete engine failure when it does go out. Also not to over look anything while this procedure was taken place, I had them replace the (RMS) rear main seal which in a Porsche is known to leak or go out after time. To simply put it I have made sure every detail of this car has the BEST of everything and upgraded and tuned by certified Porsche service engineers.
Brakes PCCB $7,500.00 The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine example. This brake system has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motor racing and is fitted in cars that compete in demanding events such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The cross-drilled PCCB ceramic brake discs for the Boxster S have a diameter of 350 mm front and rear for even more formidable braking performance. Another key advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The consequence of this is better road holding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling
Sport
Chrono $1,850.00 When selected, Sport mode is activated to provide greater response and enhanced driving pleasure. Throttle response becomes even more direct, the rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder setting and engine dynamics are tuned for performance driving. The optional Sport Chrono Package makes your driving experience priceless thanks to an even sportier tuning of throttle response and handling characteristics.
Porsche
Active Suspension Management PASM $1,800.00 A variable steering ratio preserves the precise and direct steering response associated with the typical Porsche steering feel. This intelligent system filters out unwanted shocks from the road and actively assists steering inputs under braking on road surfaces with varying grip. Takes the driving experience to a sportier level that the true Porsche enthusiast will really enjoy.
Porsche Stability Management PSM -
Standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is an electronic control system that uses a range of functions – including anti-lock braking (ABS) – to help stabilise the vehicle (and trailer, if fitted) in hazardous road scenarios. Throughout each journey, sensors monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, it is possible to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to restore stability. If necessary, PSM can also intervene in the engine management system to temporarily modify the amount of drive transmitted to the wheels.
Leather
package $1,500.00 You may have thought the interior of your Boxster couldn’t be any more stylish, but the optional leather package enhances its overall appeal by adding a leather finish to the instrument cowl, center console storage compartment lid, seat centers, side bolsters and headrests, the door armrests and door pulls. With the leather package, all of these feature a silver-colored trim strip, which accentuates the dynamic and sweeping design of the interior.
RS350 Performance Package $4,122.00 plus installation $800.00 The Boxster S RS350 utilizing the Intelligent Tuning of EVOMSit with these performance upgrades delievers more usable power at the wheels and a closer connection between the car and the driver. To achieve maximum power the RS350 package includes full Stage 1 performance upgrades, EVOMS V-Flow Intake, a Competition Intake Plenum with a true 82mm 997 GT3 Throttle Body Conversion Kit from IPD, and an exhaust from Fabspeed.
H&R Suspension $350.00 plus installation/alignment $700.00 H&R Sport Springs are designed and engineered for each particular application to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and reduce body roll. They offer the correct spring rate for low, aggressive looks, high performance handling and no ride harshness! Original Porsche springs are available if you wish to have these installed on the car.

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.
China bans military license plates on luxury autos
Wed, 01 May 2013Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.
Porsche Boxster/Cayman GTS, Macan, 911 Targa details leaked
Fri, 27 Sep 2013The folks over at Jalopnik have published some rather interesting images from what looks to be a presentation held inside Porsche's North American headquarters in Atlanta, GA. What these leaked photos reveal is pretty significant - details about several of the brand's upcoming launches, including GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, a new 911 Targa, and information about the Macan crossover that will debut at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, none of this information has been officially verified, but it all looks and sounds pretty believable to us. So, let's dig in.
First up, Porsche will launch the Boxster and Cayman GTS models at next year's Beijing Motor Show in April. Upgrades for the GTS models will include a 15-horsepower bump, standard manual transmission (with optional dual-clutch PDK), standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a slightly quicker 0-60 time. Jalopnik reports that these models will cost around $75,000.
We've spied the soon-to-be-revealed Porsche Macan (pictured right) on several occasions, and these slides suggest that the small crossover will have two different types of turbo power under its hood. The Macan S will use a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will use a 3.6-liter unit. Seven-speed PDK transmissions are expected to be fitted to both, and this leaked information states that the new, small Porsche will cost $52,000 and $75,000 for the S and Turbo versions, respectively.
