Pristine Porsche Boxster S (986s) 3.2l 6 Speed Manual Meridian Silver on 2040-cars
Dundee, Illinois, United States
2001 Porsche Boxster S (986S) with 115k miles. Very clean and fully serviced at 109k miles, oil was also changed again with Mobil 1 last month (<500 miles ago). I personally inspected the oil filter and sent the oil to be analyzed.
The Boxster S upgrades over the base model: • 247hp 3.2L engine, the base engine is much slower • 6 speed manual transmission • dual exhaust • different front bumper • the "Big Red" Porsche brakes Looks and drives like a car with less than half the miles! Runs and drives very smooth. The pre-purchase inspection was preformed by German Motor Werks, where the car was given a clean bill of health. Anything that was found, has been taken care of. A nicely equipped S, that clearly has had a good life. Never been in the snow or salt. No issues, no leaks, no stories, just a wonderful driving Porsche Boxster S that needs nothing. This Porsche is faster, smoother, and drives nicer than comparable S2000's and MX5's. Here is the work that was just completed: • Brakes -- Rotors and pads front and rear. • New spark plugs. • All new belts. • All new fluids -- cooling system, brake fluid, transmission fluid and oil. The last two done with synthetic oil. • New Bilstein HD shocks and a new alignment, which is the best thing to do when you change any suspension parts. • Drain plugs/channel under the top has been thoroughly cleaned so they drain properly. A common thing that is not done on these cars. • Front bumper removed so they could properly clean out the front radiators. This Porsche Boxster S has: • power convertible top in great shape, crystal clear rear window • matching set of Continental DWS high performance all season tires • power everything • cruise control • cold AC • cd player Youtube walk around video here: http://youtu.be/HgmLh3VxCd4 Available for inspection near Elgin, IL. 847-417-5611 I will be throwing in the book "101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster" by Wayne R. Dempsey to the highest bidder. |

Porsche planning something track-focused for Geneva [w/poll]
Thu, Feb 26 2015At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Porsche has confirmed that it will be showcasing two potentially exciting new models: One is the new Cayman GT4 we've already seen, but we don't know what the other will be just yet. All the German automaker is saying at the moment is that, "the second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack" and that "this vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports." Given those two statements, we can probably rule out a crossover or sedan at one end of the spectrum or a purely competition-spec racer at the other. The likelihood is, then, that Porsche's surprise for Geneva will be the new 911 GT3 RS. But then it could be the Boxster-based convertible counterpart to the Cayman GT4 (whether dubbed Boxster GT4, Boxster Spyder or something else), or even a track-tuned version of the 918 Spyder to take on the McLaren P1 GTR and Ferrari FXX K. We'll just have to sit tight to find out, but you're welcome to read the press release below and tell us what you think Zuffenhausen has in store for us at the Swiss expo this year. Double world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show 2015 Porsche shows two new high-performance cars for the first time Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is celebrating the world premiere of two extreme sports cars at this year's Geneva International Motor Show. The new Cayman GT4 is the first high-performance sports car belonging to the GT family that is based on the mid-engine coupes. Clocking a lap time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the Nurburgring, the new entry-level model makes a great debut. The second new model is another exceptional Porsche that sets new standards on the racetrack. The world premiere will take place during the Porsche press conference at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva at 11:30 (CET) on March 3, 2015. A live webcast will be available in German and English on: http://porsche.gomexlive.com/. This vehicle confirms the sports car manufacturer's commitment to high performance sports cars that manage to make a very special link between everyday driving and motorsports. These two premieres continue Porsche's tradition of presenting motorsport highlights at the spring car show on the shores of Lake Geneva. The 911 GT3, 918 Spyder and 919 Hybrid all celebrated their debuts in Geneva in recent years.
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.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
