Default I drove the 981 yesterday.

The new Boxster is both amazing to look at and drive. I drove the 981 on the Grand Bend race track and can’t believe how much fun it was to drive quickly [can’t believe I did not crash a few times]. The demo cars available were all the Boxster S model equipped with the PDK and 20” Carrera wheels.

Here are a couple of pictures I took. The 981 looks better in person and should sell well once people get a chance to see and drive it. Here in Canada the launch date is June 15th.
