The Baby Boomers might have defined the "me generation," but with increasing urgency, today's motorists are telling manufacturers "build me a car of my own." It's not surprising, of course, that high-end automakers, like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are readily responding, the latter marque with a special version of the Boxster.Based on the striking show car Porsche revealed at the New York Auto Show, last month, only 500 copies of the Limited Edition Boxster will be produced, (half of them in Boxster S trim).

The Limited Edition will be loaded up with a variety of features normally offered only as options on the Boxster, including black wheels with silver trim, an Alcantara-trimmed interior and Porsche's SportDesign body kit - which includes an active rear spoiler, front spoiler lips, and modified rear trim.

The package has performance benefits, reducing both front and rear lift without increasing aero drag. A new exhaust package also adds muscle, with silver colored twin pipes.

The Limited Edition boasts a bright orange paint scheme lifted from Porsche's top-of-the-line 911 GT3 RS. Contrasting black paint is used for the side mirrors, front and side air inlets and the Boxster's convertible top. The same black-and-orange motif is used for interior trim, including door level surrounds, and even the cupholders.

Porsche officials haven't set final pricing, though the 2007 Boxster starts at $46,460, while the S will set you back $56,360.

I think the mirrors should have been body-colored and the rims should be normal grey. Hot though.

Porsche’s all-new orange 2008 Limited Edition Boxster and Boxster S will soon be stirring excitement around the country with a stylish design and competitive pricing starting at $49,900 USD and $59,900 USD, respectively.

With the first Limited Edition being displayed at a special sneak preview at the NY Auto Show this past spring where it received a rave reception, the 500 eagerly anticipated Limited Edition Boxster and Boxster S models will go on sale in dealerships on September 28, 2007 throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Clad in striking orange paint, a color previously featured only with the track-ready Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the Limited Edition Boxster is as well-built as it is eye-catching and even includes a special “Limited Edition” plaque on the glove compartment. Its sport exhaust system, as well as the safety bars, designed to help protect occupants, are dressed in orange paint. And the SportDesign package that includes spoiler lips in the front, an automatically extending and redesigned rear spoiler, and modified rear trim with integrated diffuser provides a more stunning and sporty appearance.Complementing the orange paint are several eye-catching elements in black including black painted alloy wheels–with large 18 inch standard on the Boxster and 19-inch standard on the Boxster S–striking black exterior side mirrors, black front and side air inlets, all of which tastefully complement the car’s model designation in black on the rear deck and a black convertible top.
Black carries over to the seats, carpet, dash, door panels and other surrounding soft surfaces. Adding to the performance theme is the use of Alcantara trim, a suede-like material used on performance Porsches like the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS. Alcantara is pleasant to touch, but it also helps occupants stay planted in the interior during sporty driving. Alcantara trim is used on seat inserts, the three-spoke steering wheel from the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS, and gear shift and handbrake lever on vehicles with manual transmission.To further tie the interior and exterior, Porsche designers added touches of bright orange to interior trim pieces such as the door lever surrounds and the trim panel that covers the dash-mounted cup holders. Even the gray shift pattern on the gear shift lever carries an orange font.

Press Release

Porsche’s all-new orange 2008 Limited Edition Boxster and Boxster S will soon be stirring excitement around the country with a stylish design and competitive pricing starting at $49,900 USD and $59,900 USD, respectively.

Clad in striking orange paint, a color previously featured only with the track ready Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the Limited Edition Boxster is as well-built as it is eye-catching and even includes a special “Limited Edition” plaque in the glove compartment. It touts a sport exhaust system and safety bars, designed to help protect occupants, are dressed in orange paint. And the SportDesign package that includes spoiler lips in the front, an automatically extending and redesigned rear spoiler, and modified rear trim with integrated diffuser provides a more stunning and sporty appearance.

Complementing the orange paint are several eye-catching elements in black including black painted alloy wheels—with large 18 inch standard on the Boxster and 19-inch standard on the Boxster S—striking black exterior side mirrors, black front and side air inlets, all of which tastefully compliment the car’s model designation in black on the rear deck and a black convertible top.

Alcantara trim is used on seat inserts, the three-spoke steering wheel from the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS, and handbrake lever on vehicles with manual transmission.

To further tie the interior and exterior, Porsche designers added touches of bright orange to interior trim pieces such as the door lever surrounds and the trim panel that covers the dash-mounted cup holders. Even the shift pattern on the gear shift lever is orange.
