The Porsche Boxster 986 is a two-seater mid-engined roadster that was produced by Porsche from 1996 to 2005. It was the first Porsche model to be powered by a water-cooled engine since the 924 and 944, and it was also the first Porsche model to be designed for the mass market. The Boxster was a commercial success, selling over 120,000 units worldwide during its production run. It was praised for its handling, performance, and stylish design. The Boxster was named after the "Boxer" engine it uses, a horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine mounted in the rear of the car. The Boxster's engine was derived from the 911's engine, but it was smaller and less powerful. The original Boxster model was powered by a 2.5-liter engine that produced 201 horsepower. Later models received a 2.7-liter engine with 220 horsepower, and a 3.2-liter engine with 252 horsepower. The Boxster's design was penned by Harm Lagaay, who was responsible for the 993-series Porsche 911. It featured a distinctive sloping nose, rounded headlights, and a smooth, teardrop-like profile. The Boxster's interior was driver-focused, with a minimalist dashboard and well-placed controls. The car was equipped with a number of standard features, including power steering, air conditioning, and a four-speaker sound system. The Boxster was available with a variety of optional features, such as leather upholstery, heated seats, and a navigation system. The Boxster's chassis was based on the 996-series Porsche 911, but it was modified to accommodate the mid-engine layout. The Boxster's suspension was independent all-round, with coil springs, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars. The car was equipped with a rack-and-pinion steering system and four-wheel disc brakes. The Boxster was available with a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
