Porsche Boxter

出典: くみこみックス

The Porsche Boxster and Boxster S are rapidly, powerful automobiles and most

of all the very best-handling production roadsters on the planet.

Introduced in 1996, it remained basically unchanged, other than

moderate horsepower and interior-alternatives tweaks. Thats what

Porsche generally does with the successful models: it retains vehicle

look and configuration for ages.

A far more powerful second-generation Boxster was introduced in 2005

and it keeps Porsches conservative evolutionary path. Like its

precedent, it is a mid-engine, six-cylinder two-seater that looks like

Porsche Spyder. Nevertheless, over half of Boxster`s structure and electronics

are borrowed from the 911 Carrera.

The 2005 Boxster looks sprightlier than its 2004 equivalent, thanks

to the revision of the torque and the 15 added hp and the further energy

coming on strongly amongst 2000rpm and 4000 street racing parts rpm. The 2005

Boxster S virtually equals the acceleration and top-speed overall performance

of Porsche's pricey 911 Carrera. The Boxster exhaust has been

tuned to play a distinctive tromboning wail like no other auto. This is a

remarkable issue thinking that both engines are smaller versions of the

six-cylinder 1998 neon body kits in the Carrera.

The transmission for base Boxters is five-speed manual but the optional

variant gives a six-speed. Both models can also be fitted with a

5-speed Tiptronic, the superb Porsche-created automatic transmission

that began the trend toward manually shifted automatics.

The bodywork and the interior of the Boxster are of high quality, but thinking about

that theres noting tricky or purely decorative, we can certainly say that

these are not opulent cars. Nevertheless, the interior has been improved considering that the

old car was often criticized for getting to low cost-looking. The center console

has been upgraded with revised switch-gear and titanium look paneling.

The seats are much more supportive and body-shaped in the new 97 neon body kit version,

making them look definitely superb. Unlike other roadsters, the Boxster

has no difficulty swallowing luggage for a extended trip: it has two trunks, a

tiny one in the rear and an amply deep one beneath the front hood.

One of The Boxster`s greatest qualities is the powered convertible top, very rapid

to retract or re-erect. In the new Boxster, the best can be operated at speeds

up to 30 mph. The triple-layer padded cloth tops (with a heated-glass rear

window) is as weather-tight and quiet as most metal roofs.

The Boxster is named a mid engine-car. The purpose is that the sweet six-cylinder

engine is mounted behind the seats, just fore of the rear axle. So if you wand

to see whats below the hood as soon as in even though, wellyou cant do that with The Boxster.

The only way to see the engine is from underneath or by meticulously removing

physique panels, which mechanics ought to do to service the engine. But, the excellent

news is that having the engine mounted closer to the center of the vehicle tends to make

for better weight distribution. And thats what tends to make the car manage so nicely.
