2008 Porsche Boxster — 2.7L H6, 245 hp, 201 ft·lb
This 2008 Porsche Boxster is powered by the factory 2.7-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder (boxer) engine producing 245 horsepower and 201 ft·lb of torque. The engine’s compact, low-mounted layout contributes to the car’s balanced mid-engine weight distribution and precise handling. The Boxster’s drivetrain is rear-wheel drive, and the factory configuration pairs the engine with a manual transmission as standard (an automatic transmission was offered as an available factory option). The overall mechanical package emphasizes a responsive throttle, linear power delivery, and engaging on-road dynamics.
Factory-standard features (detailed)
- Engine and chassis: 2.7L flat-six engine with Porsche’s variable valve timing technology, mid-engine placement, rear-wheel drive layout, and a suspension setup tuned for sporty, communicative handling (independent suspension at all four corners with coil springs and stabilizer bars).
- Brakes and stability: Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability/traction intervention for controlled braking and predictable behavior in varying conditions.
- Convertible top and roof operation: Power-operated folding fabric soft top that opens and closes electronically for convenient top-up/top-down transitions; storage area and design allow the top to stow neatly behind the seats.
- Exterior and wheels: Factory alloy wheels and aerodynamic bodywork with integrated bumper design, projector-style headlights, and fog lamps (where standard for the market).
- Interior comfort and convenience: Comfortable sport seats with quality upholstery and supportive bolstering, power-adjustable seats in many factory configurations, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, and cruise control for highway comfort. The cockpit is driver-focused with clear, analog instrumentation and ergonomically placed controls.
- Climate and audio: Factory air conditioning and heating with efficient climate controls and a factory-installed audio system with AM/FM and CD playback and auxiliary input capability for portable devices (exact stereo configuration varies by factory package).
- Safety and passive features: Front airbags and passenger protection designed to meet factory crash-safety standards, reinforced occupant cell, and side-impact protection structures.
- Practical items: Carpeted interior trim, center console storage, cupholders, and a modest luggage area in both the front trunk and the space behind the seats (typical for a mid-engine roadster).
Condition
This particular vehicle is in excellent overall condition. Cosmetic surfaces, interior materials, and mechanical systems are well cared for and present neatly for a car of this age.
