Many car enthusiasts already know that the “S” badge on a Porsche signifies a truly special model, not just a trim upgrade. Porsche first used the “S” badge in 1952 for a 356 model with a 1.5-liter engine. Perhaps the most famous Porsche “S” model arrived in 1967, the legendary 911 S. The Porsche Boxster S, introduced in model year 2000 takes its place among legendary Porsche sportscars bearing that letter.
The Porsche Boxster S builds on the foundation of the wildly successful Boxster model. As did classic Porsche “S” models, the Boxster S benefits from a comprehensive high-performance upgrade. Compared to the standard Boxster, the Porsche Boxster S features a larger, more powerful engine and a six-speed manual transmission in place of the five-speed. Larger cross-drilled brake discs from the 911 Carrera‚ provide additional stopping power.
