The
first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 as a 1997
model; it was powered by a 2.5 litre flat six-cylinder engine. In 2000,
the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre motor,
and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003,
styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants.
In
2005, Porsche unveiled the new generation of Boxsters: the type 987. The
987 is more powerful than its predecessor and featured styling inspired
by the Carrera GT. Engine output increased in 2007, when both Boxster
models received the engines from their corresponding Porsche Cayman
variants. In 2009, the Boxster models received several new cosmetic and
mechanical upgrades, further increasing engine output and performance.
Production
of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart,
Germany in 1996. Valmet Automotive also manufactures Boxsters under
contract to Porsche at a facility in Uusikaupunki, Finland. The Boxster
was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in model year
1997 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in
model year 2003.
