This car has been appreciated by many car enthusiasts and the general public since it was first seen in 1996. Built and designed by Porsche, in Stuttgart, Germany, this "roadster" has captivated me for years. I will never forget the first time I saw this car and I would always strive to buy it on the video game, Gran Turismo!
It may not be the quickest car on the market but, it's look and design have proven to be a winner amongst it's admirers. By having a low profile and many lines similar to a fully fledged sports car, the Boxster can definitely be classified as a sports car. However, in my eyes, I see it as a "hydrid" of sorts. A sports car with luxury.
Over the years of watching this car evolve, one of the only things to stay constant since 1996 in it's design is the headlights. The distinctive shape and vibrant white background, contrasting against the glossy finish of the car (especially against the black), make the headlights seem as if they were the eyes of this fine automobile.
Porsche have really designed a fantastic car in the Boxster. Not only aesthetically pleasing, but also packs some fantastic machinery under the hood. The recipient of numerous awards around the world, with the most prestigious, holding the title of both Car of the Year (1997) and Best Roadster in the World. I just hope that Porsche continue to further modify and develop the Boxster so we can all admire it's beauty and elegance.

Wow, i had no idea these were first out in '96. That is one advanced styled car for that era haha.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking car, though I feel from the very start its always been let down by the engine specs(even the Boxster S) and struggles to match other cars in the same price range. I guess the looks make up for it.
