A new limited edition Porsche 718 Boxster has been announced, celebrating 25 years of the sports car nameplate. The special model has been confirmed to arrive in Australia during the second quarter of 2021.
Can you believe it’s been 25 years since Porsche launched the Boxster? That certainly went quick. Although it’s now called the 718 Boxster, sharing a similar position in the showroom with the 718 Cayman, it retains its traditional open-top driver’s car philosophy.
For the 25 Years edition, Porsche has devised a unique package which pays tribute to some of the original design themes. For example, a traditional five-spoke alloy wheel pattern is used. These are coated in a modern interpretation of the popular Neodyme gold colour of the 1990s. That same colour is applied to the middle section of the front intake, and the side intakes behinds the doors.
1996 doesn t feel that long ago.
It may sound hard to believe but it s been 25 years since the original 986 Porsche Boxster hit the pavement. Although it has retained its mid-engine, two-seater formula the entire time, many other things have changed. To celebrate the occasion, Porsche has just revealed a special edition anniversary model collectors and Porsche fans in general will highly desire.
Meet the very appropriately named Porsche 718 Boxster 25. Although it s a styling package only, designers took inspiration from the original Boxster concept that debuted at the 1993 Detroit Auto Show. Painted in GT Silver Metallic (Deep Black Metallic and Carrera White Metallic are also offered), Porsche is paying tribute to that original Boxster concept with the copper-like Neodyme color used on the front apron, side air intakes, Porsche lettering, and the two-tone 20-inch alloy wheels.
