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 names new motorsport chief
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Though it may have expanded into crossovers and sedans, Porsche is still a company with racing at its heart. You might even argue that Cayenne and Panamera sales only serve to fund the company's motorsports activities. Competition-spec 911 coupes still make up a large portion of the grid in any GT racing series, and those activities are presided over by the Porsche GT division (separate from its LMP1 program), which has just announced a changing of the guard.
Porsche's GT unit - which is responsible both for racing models like the 911 RSR and road-going models like the 911 GT3 - has until now been steered by Hartmut Kristen (pictured above, left) in his capacity as Vice President of Motorsport at Porsche AG. During his ten-year tenure, Kristen gave birth to the RS Spyder that competed in the American Le Mans Series and the pioneering 911 GT3 R Hybrid. He also fostered what Porsche characterizes as "arguably the most comprehensive youth development program in motor racing" and saw the marque return to Le Mans last year with a dominant 1-2 class victory.
Kristen, now 59 years old, is leaving the German automaker, but will remain an advisor to the company's R&D department. Taking over as VP of Motorsport will be Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, who has until now been head of the 918 Spyder project (a responsibility he will continue). Walliser (pictured above, right) was previously Porsche's general manager for motorsport strategies and will now be responsible for Porsche's GT projects on and off the track, while Fritz Enzinger continues at the helm of the LMP1 program in pursuit of better results next year than the 919 Hybrid achieved at Le Mans last month.
Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.
Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023
Thu, Nov 11 2021SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
