2007 Porsche Boxster S

(from Porsche Press Release) NEW ENGINES FOR THE 2007 PORSCHE® BOXSTER® AND BOXSTER S ADD TO CLASS LEADING DYNAMICS AND REAL-WORLD PRACTICALITY


Porsche’s two-seat roadsters offer unique blend of mid-engined handling in thoroughly useful two-trunk ragtop package. The biggest news for the 2007 Boxster lineup is new powerplants in the already award-winning drop-tops. The Boxster S receives the 3.4-liter flat-Six engine from the Cayman™S with an identical 295 horsepower rating. The Boxster receives a reworked version of the 2.7-liter Boxer mill rated at 245 horsepower—only 5 less than the original Boxster S. Both engines are now fitted with Porsche’s VarioCam®Plus variable intake-valve timing and lift system, which broadens the engines’ torque curves, increases fuel economy, and helps reduce emissions. Also new for ’07 on the Boxster lineup is a revised an updated Tiptronic®S automatic transmission, a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), a reworked positioning of the service tray to improve the shape of the rear trunk, and optional new 19-inch wheels from the 2007 911® Turbo.
