A beautiful and rare machine!
I've only seen the press photographs online when it was announced. But I've never seen one on the road.
Probably a real limited edition as the next Boxster will be electric…
But just like watch makers, it’s not over until it’s really over 😃
I'm actually looking forward to the electric Boxster/Cayman!
It's about time we get some high performance electric sports cars! I do hope that they will come with a spare tire though. My Tesla doesn't come with one and I have a whole wheel and tire sitting in my trunk and now my trunk doesn't fit my shopping! Good ...
They say ... never meet your heroes !
Last year I had a go in this one, I must say this car is perfection ... but that perfection made it a bit dull to me, a bit of a disappointment :-( .... . The 4 liter 7800 rpm flat six is fabulous but it's nowhere near the drama of a 9000 rpm GT3/RS/Spyde...
Did you notice reduced suspension grip in off-camber corners?
I'd say the Boxster is pretty fun - but then again, my criteria for fun has changed too. And in America we can't drive at the speeds the Europeans can. And we have fewer twisty roads than on the old Continent. Suspension grip is the only flaw on a Porsche...
I considered the GT350 ...
... MSRP was 50.000 Dollars in the US. But apparently all were sold out ... and I could buy a new imported one here in Belgium for 100.000 Euro. Add another 11.000 € first day on the road tax and then again another 4000 € road tax every year, high fuel pr...
4000 Euro Road Tax every year???? That's crazy!
Yes, I go broke filling up the car with gasoline in USA, with the gasoline prices significantly higher in Europe, I'd have to give up food!
Just filled up the Clio ...
100 € .. not even 50 liter of petrol Road tax in Belgium is still calculated thru a medieval system .. the more cubic inches, the more you pay, unless your car is over 30 years old then you only pay around 35 € road tax a year. For a 2 litre AMG A45 with ...
Yikes!
Our fuel price here in California is around 1.35 Euros per liter, so we're still much cheaper than Europe. BUT! We have very big cars that consume a lot of fuel! Yikes, the road tax goes up fast based on the engine size! 2.0 liters for me if I lived in Be...
Great tale and pics Bimbeano. I love your car stories 👍
Car is truly a dream to drive…. Frankly, a different target market, as you know it’s not meant to scream or handle like a 9000rpm GT3 etc….
True !
You can compare any car to one another .... but then you can't either It's all about what you expect from it.
