Porsche Design Edition 2: Limited edition Boxster S

August 6th 2008 00:15
Porsche Design Edition 2


If you read the Porsche Cayman S Sport press release, you will have noticed that the German sports car maker also released a second limited production model simultaneously.

Dubbed “Porsche Design Edition 2”, this limited edition model is based on the Boxster S and shares the same 223 kW 3.4-litre boxer engine with its hardtop sibling. The Boxster S Design Edition 2 features a 'Carrara White' production colour - a long time Porsche favourite - three central grey stripes, exclusive 'star-spoke' 19-inch SportDesign alloy wheels and the side air intakes, the centre console and the dials on the three round instruments are also finished in white. The white theme is complemented by the stone grey roof and the black leather interior.

This is the second limited edition of the current generation Boxster after the release of last year's Boxster RS 60 Spyder which has completely sold out.

Production of the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 is even more exclusive than its hardtop brother with a strictly limited total of just 500 units worldwide - Australian sales are yet to be confirmed.

Porsche Cayman S Sport

August 5th 2008 04:39
Porsche Cayman S Sport


German sports car maker Porsche has taken the wraps off the Cayman S Sport - a limited edition model based on the Cayman S but with a colour scheme made famous by the 911 GT3 RS.

The Cayman S Sport is powered with a very mildly tweaked standard 3.4-litre boxer engine developing 223 kW for a gain of just 6 kW over the standard Cayman S. It is also equipped with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system as standard, lowering the entire car by ten millimetres, as well as five-millimetre spacers beneath the 19-inch black-painted SportDesign wheels for improved driving dynamics.

Available in the iconic GT3 RS colours of Orange and Green, the Cayman S Sport also bear its model designation decals on the side. For those that prefer more subdued liveries, Black, Indian Red, Speed Yellow, Carrara White, and Arctic Silver Metallic are available at extra cost.

Other standard features include bi-xenon headlights, a Sports Chrono Package, sports bucket seats, a sports exhaust system with twin-chamber exhaust tailpipes, alcantara finish on the gearshift lever, the handbrake, and the rim of the GT3 steering wheel.

A special placard on the glove box highlights the exclusivity of the Cayman S Sport which will be limited 700 units worldwide.

The Official Porsche Press Release:

Porsche Extends Range of Mid-Engined Sports Cars
More Power for Exclusive Boxster and Cayman Models

Stuttgart. Introducing two new models, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, are rounding off their range of dynamic mid-engined sports cars at the top. The two new models, the Porsche Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 and the Cayman S Sport, develop 303 bhp (223 kW) from 3.4 litres, eight horsepower more than the respective S models.

Both new models come with a wide range of exclusive equipment highlighted by the particularly striking design of the car and will be available at the dealership as of early September.

With the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and the Boxster RS 60 Spyder special series now completely sold out, Porsche are entering the market with new special models based on the prize-winning Boxster S and Cayman S. Only a few weeks ago, Porsche's roadster model won first prize in the readers' choice of the German motor magazine "sport auto" in its class of the most sporting convertibles up to Euro 80,000. And in a representative customer enquiry by US market research institute J.D. Power, the Porsche Boxster also came first in its category as the best model.

The Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 now sets new standards, the production colour Carrara White, for a long time one of the highlights in Porsche's colour range, now receiving additional emphasis in the new Boxster: The star-spoke rims on the 19-inch SportDesign wheels featured as standard, the side air intakes, the centre console and the dials on the three round instruments are also finished in white. Sporting grey stripes extending lengthwise along the body accentuate the brilliant white finish of the car in the same sophisticated style as the red rear lights.

A unique accessory coming with the car is likewise an homage to the white rev counter and speedometer: The Porsche Design Edition 2 Chronograph men's wristwatch from the Dashboard Collection features a white face and was developed especially for this very special Boxster.

By contrast, the colours of the roof and leather upholstery featured as standard are really classical throughout: Stone Grey and Black.

The Cayman S Sport is more colourful, coming as standard in the GT3 colours Orange and Green and proudly bearing its model designation on the side. Further colours available on this special model are Black, Indian Red, Speed Yellow and Carrara White, as well as Arctic Silver Metallic available at extra cost.

As on the GT3, black rims, exterior mirrors and air intake grids form a sporting contrast also characterising the interior through the black interior design package and the circular instruments without the usual binnacle on top.

Over and above the 303-bhp flat-six power unit, particularly PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management featured as standard, lowering the entire car by ten millimetres, as well as five-millimetre spacers beneath the 19-inch SportDesign wheels provide an impressive touch of power and performance.

Bi-xenon headlights, the Sports Chrono Package and sports seats all coming as standard enhance the particularly sporting appearance of the car in genuine GT3 look, further enhanced by the sports exhaust system together with a twin-chamber exhaust tailpipe and alcantara finish on the gearshift lever, the handbrake, and the rim of the GT3 steering wheel.

These upgraded versions of the Boxster S and Cayman S are limited to an exclusive series proudly bearing out their edition number on a placard on the glove box. Judging by the experience gained with the Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1 and Boxster RS 60 Spyder, demand for these exclusive new models is expected to be substantial.

Production of the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 will amount to 500 units at a price in the German market of Euro 65,539 (including 19 per cent VAT and national specifications), production of the Cayman S Sport will be limited to 700 units at a price of Euro 69,942 (again including 19 per cent VAT and national specifications).

Porsche Cayman S: Gemballa GT 4.0L RS

We're big fans of the Porsche Cayman S here at ZCars. Sure the Porsche purists and 911 fans will hate on us but they're completely missing the point - the Cayman S is every bit as much of a driver's car as the flagship 911 and appears to be much more exclusive on Australian roads given the amount of 911's we get to see on a daily basis
