The Other Half Brother of Boxster S

These photos were taken when I dropped of my BOXSTER S for something at QAF Eurokars. Lets distinguish the differences between a BOXSTER and a BOXSTER S, visually of course!

Generally, with the untrained eye you will not notice the differences. The visual appearances of both cars are almost identical.

First thing of course is the logo is missing a "S", although you can purchase the "S" from the PORSCHE dealer


This red BOXSTER do not have Bi-Xenon HID and DRL(Daytime Running Lights) as it wasn't optioned in the spec sheet


If you view a BOXSTER from the back, the first thing you must check is the exhaust tailpipe. BOXSTER only come with a single tailpipe whereas BOXSTER S come with twin tailpipe


Air intake grilles is painted same as body color whereas BOXSTER S is painted in Black. No LED DRL here, just a few halogen bulbs. LED can be seen here identical to BOXSTER S


The standard view standing from behind into the interior. This one here is not equipped with Sound Package Plus or BOSE surround sound sytem.


This is how it looks from behind if its equipped with BOSE surround sound sytem

BOXSTER come with Black painted caliper whereas BOXSTER S come painted in red as standard. If you see Yellow painted caliper in any PORSCHE models, it means the owner had optioned the PCCB brake system(BND$15,000). The wheels shown here is CAYMAN II wheels, as the name suggested it is an optioned wheels from the CAYMAN models. Standard wheels is 17" in size and the rims is called Boxster III wheel.


Regardless of the appearances, the base BOXSTER does provide one of the best ride in it's category and had won a lot of awards too!

Hopefully we will get to see these "Black Edition" Porsche soon in Brunei
