2009 Porsche Boxster S Design Edition 2 Pictures, Specifications, Information

A comprehensive list of enhancements, led by a more powerful engine and unique visual features, distinguishes the new, limited-edition Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 mid-engine sports car.

Porsche will build 500 Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2, and less than 50 of which – each one with a glove box plaque bearing its number from the exclusive series – will reach U.S. shores. The car will be available through authorized U.S. Porsche dealers this October, and the Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 MSRP is $66,900.

A range of standard equipment, beyond the eight-horsepower bump to 303 from the 3.4-Liter engine, further sets these variants apart from the standard Porsche Boxster S.

Spotting the new Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 will be easy – look for the Carrara White mid-engine Porsche roadster with white finishes on the star-spoke, painted 19-inch SportDesign wheels, side air intakes, center console and instrument dials. Contrasting the white features are grey stripes lengthwise along the body, and black standard leather upholstery and convertible top in stone grey.

Echoing the white tachometer and speedometer is the included Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 Chronograph, a men’s wristwatch from the Porsche Design Dashboard Collection designed in conjunction with the car.
