  | 200,000th Boxster Rolls Off The Line  Stuttgart/Uusikaupunki. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is celebrating a very special production milestone: The 200,000th Boxster has just rolled off the production line at its partner Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki in Finland. This landmark vehicle, a meteor grey metallic Boxster S, is being delivered to a customer in the US. Michael Macht, Executive Vice President Production and Logistics, said: "Ten years ago, no one would have believed what a huge success this Porsche mid-range roadster has become. Thanks to our flexible production system, we can manufacture the Boxster model series at both our main plant in Zuffenhausen and at Valmet. Today's milestone will especially inspire employees at both plants to continue the success story that is the Boxster." At the roadster's launch in 1996, Porsche had assumed an annual production of 15,000 units. In the past fiscal year 2005/06, total sales of this model series, since extended to include the mid-range Cayman coupé, amounted to 27,906. The most important market for the Boxster is North America, which has a share of sales of around 40%, followed by Germany with up to 20%. For the current model year, which began on August 1, 2006, both Boxster models have been upgraded again. The power of the 2.7-liter component in the basic model has now been increased by five HP to 245 HP (180 kW). The boxer engine in the latest Boxster S, which has grown in size from 3.2 to 3.4 liters, can unleash 295 HP (217 kW), 15 HP more than its predecessor Last edited by Bruce; 11-20-2006 at 09:15 AM. |

| Re: 200,000th Boxster Rolls Off The Line Wow, almost 20 000 cars produced every year. It ir pretty obvious that the Boxter has been a success. It is a very precise car which handled like no other car in the sub 50k price range. |

| Re: 200,000th Boxster Rolls Off The Line 20.000 cars for a model per year aren't a lot for a brand like porsche? Shouldn't Porsche be more exclusive?

| Re: 200,000th Boxster Rolls Off The Line I'm amazed they have made so many! The boxster was one of those make or brake cars, and it have helped a lot to make Porsche the company it is today! |
