ATLANTA – February 2, 2011- Porsche introduces a new, luxurious and limited edition Boxster S this spring. The 2012 Boxster S Black Edition features a 10-horsepower boost and a long list of standard equipment at an attractive price.
The German sports car maker has introduced the limited-edition Porsche Boxster S Black edition. Besides all the features that the Black Edition adds, the 911 Boxster S Black Edition’s 3.4L flat 6-cylinder gets an extra 10-hp for a total of 320-hp. The production limited to only 987 units worldwide.
The Porsche Boxster S Black Edition runs from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 170 mph when mated to the PDK transmission. The optional Sport Chrono package further reduces o-60 mph to 4.6 seconds with the addition of launch control function and more aggressive Sport and Sport Plus shift.
This new mid-engine sports car is only available in solid black and features a monochrome treatment with a black body, black convertible top and black-painted 19-inch Boxster Spyder design wheels. Normally contrasting trim pieces from the Boxster S are also painted for a uniform look: the supplemental safety bars and side air intake grilles are painted black, as are the twin exhaust tailpipes and the model designation on the rear luggage compartment lid. A Black Edition model designation is embossed on the side of the fabric roof.
The black-painted exterior and interior touches are part of the Design package available on other Boxster models. The Convenience package, also standard, includes Bi-Xenon™ headlights with dynamic cornering function, a wind deflector, auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, rain sensor and automatic climate control. Finally, the Infotainment package adds a touch-screen Porsche Communication Management system with navigation, BOSE® surround-sound system and XM® Satellite Radio with XM NavTraffic®.
The interior monochromatic theme with aluminum and stainless steel used as accents. The brushed stainless steel door-entry guards feature Black Edition lettering, and the standard SportDesign steering wheel features twin aluminum-look spokes with a rim of smooth-finish black leather. Also painted black are the trim strips on the dashboard and around the six-speed manual shift lever or the gear selector for the optional Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) seven-speed double clutch transmission, while the instrument dials are black instead of the usual white. Two final touches are the Porsche crest embossed on the headrests and a limited-edition badge on the glove compartment.
The price of the Porsche Boxster S Black Edition starts at $65,200. When you compare the MSRP to a comparatively equipped Boxster S, the Black Edition saves as shopper $3,200. Not a bad deal.
