Porsche Boxster
The Boxster isn’t as prestigious as the 911, but it is the most affordable Porsche available (besides the Cayenne utility vehicle), with a basic price set just under 60,000$. Two versions are available: the basic and S versions. The fist gets the new 2.9-litre six-cylinder horizontal (H6) engine, while the S is powered by a 3.4-litre H6. 2010 sees the arrival of the PDK transmission, which shaves precious seconds off acceleration times. Add tot his the new Spyder version with a unique top.
