Porsche celebrates the 25 years of the Boxster with a special edition release

Porsche is celebrating the 25^th anniversary of its Boxster family with a special anniversary model, the 2021 Boxster 25 years. Based on the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 model, and powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine, the special production model is limited to 1,250 units worldwide.

One of the most striking features of the new special model are hints of the original concept car, through the use of Neodyme, a copper-like colour, which provided a unique contrast to the GT Silver Metallic colour.

On the anniversary 718 model, it appears on the front and side air intakes as well as for the lettering and the specially designed two-tone, five-spoke, 20-inch alloy wheels and in the special 'Boxster 25' badge on the rear. Porsche is offering the Boxster 25 years in GT Silver Metallic, although Jet Black Metallic and Carrara White Metallic are also available.

Another striking element can be found on the fuel filler cap, which is enhanced by Porsche script from the Exclusive Design range. The cap is painted in an aluminium look as are the high-gloss tailpipes of the Sport Exhaust system while the windshield frame is finished in black.

Staying true to the style of the historic original, the special model combines a Bordeaux Red leather interior with a red roadster top made of fabric. The roadster top bears embossed 'Boxster 25' lettering. An interior package in brushed aluminium, 14-way electrically adjustable sport seats, door sill trims with 'Boxster 25' lettering and the heated multifunction sport leather steering wheel are also included as standard equipment.

The 4.0-litre flat-six engine, which is shared with the 2021 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, offers exceptional throttle response, power delivery and a rich exhaust note. The high-revving 388bhp naturally aspirated engine, which is available with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK).

The special-edition model reaches a top track speed of 293km/h with the manual transmission and, in combination with the PDK gearbox and Sport Chrono package, sprints from zero to 100km/h in 4.0 seconds.

Other standard features include Porsche Active Suspension Management suspension (PASM), which lowers the ride height 10mm as compared to a standard 718 Boxster, and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical limited-slip differential. The PASM Sport Suspension with a ride height reduction of 20mm compared to a standard 718 Boxster and particularly sporty calibration is available as an option.
