They're at the dealers now. Got a call from my local dealer that theirs was going through prep and would be ready in a few days.
If I'm not mistaken it will have 303HP (The most of any boxster/cayman) and be availabe in 2 different colors...

My mistake on the colors.
It will only be in a speciall Silver GT Metalic with either a Carerra red interior & top or a grey interior with black top.
It will also have a sports exhaust and front lip spoiler (not sure about side & rear)
There will only be 1960 made.

I am selling my 98 993 C4S and picking up an RS Spyder. I missed having a Cab and this is a fun Boxster. It will be my fourth Boxster

Actually CET racing red would be a better choice. Zero competition miles since new!

(After a short conversation with the new Porsche Motorsports director, this car will never see the track in anger. Too bad)

The father of a couple of friends of mine has a Boxster S in the Ltd. Edition orange and it's a gorgeous car.
