Improved aerodynamics and sportier looks
Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, is now offering a SportDesign package for the Boxster and Boxster S roadster models. This new individualization option comprises spoiler lips for mounting on the standard front trim, an automatically extending, redesigned rear spoiler, and a modified rear trim with an integrated diffuser.
In addition to providing a particularly striking and sporty appearance, the new SportDesign package improves aerodynamics. The lifting forces on the front and rear axles are reduced without air resistance being increased, which further supports the vehicle's finely-tuned, roadster-specific balance. The shape of the rear trim with the integrated diffuser evokes a conscious association with the Carrera GT high-performance sports car. The automatically extending rear spoiler, which has been designed according to the divided wing principle, contributes further to this association. All of the SportDesign package's attractive components are painted in the vehicle's exterior color, and blend in harmoniously with the Boxster's dynamic visuals.
Porsche is offering the SportDesign package worldwide. In Germany, it can be ordered from Porsche Exclusive for 4,060 Euros (incl. sales tax) on purchase of a new vehicle. For retrofitting, it is available from Porsche Tequipment for 3,422 Euros (incl. sales tax) plus labor.
In North America Porsche is offering the SportDesign package as a factory installed Exclusive option on the Boxster and Boxster S roadsters for $5,865 USD ($8,200 CAD). It can also be ordered as a Tequipment option through any North American Porsche Dealer and fitted to all 2005-and-later Porsche Boxster models. Pricing of the package through Tequipment is $5,061 USD ($7,591 CAD), but does not include installation. Pricing for Porsche's 2006 Boxster is $45,000 USD ($64,100 CAD), and $54,700 USD ($77,900 CAD) for the Boxster S.
