A.I. Motokinisi Ltd, the official importers of Porsche cars in Cyprus, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Boxster family with a special anniversary photoshoot, in Cyprus. The photos show the Boxster 25 Years limited edition, together with the first edition Boxster 986.
The Boxster carries a very special meaning for Porsche, as it marked a new orientation of the sports car manufacturer’s model strategy. The attractively priced two-seater captured the hearts of new, younger customers right from the start. Visually, it incorporated features of the renowned history of the brand. The appearance of the Boxster concept car shown first in 1993 rekindled fond memories of the legendary 550 Spyder and the 718 RS 60 Spyder racing car.
When the production model was launched in August 1996, it bore a strong resemblance to the star of the 1993 Detroit Auto Show. Because it shared its front end with the 996 generation 911, there was no question about its lineage. The Boxster was a true Porsche. At the same time, its centrally mounted flat-six engine, which initially had a displacement of 2.5 liters and an output of 201 hp, was engineered to meet stricter emissions standards thanks to water cooling, four-valve technology and variable intake timing.
Today the mid-engine sports car is in its fourth generation, and more than 357,000 units have been produced thus far.
The 2021 Boxster 25 years is based on the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 model, and powered by a 394hp naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, the special production model is limited to 1,250 units worldwide. It incorporates numerous design features of the original Boxster concept car.
