The S motor's bigger-bored 3.2-liter spools out 250 at a slightly lower 6250 rpm. On all 718 models, the wheels are alloys a sports car hallmark. The S models are equipped with 19-inch wheels, the 718 T and 718 GTS 4.0 models with 20-inch wheels in Titanium Grey or Satin Black. For 2000, the standard Boxster's 2.7-liter DOHC flat-six makes 217 horsepower at 6500 rpm. The 718 Boxster and Cayman models have 18-inch wheels with a distinctive design. The first-generation Porsche Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 it was powered by a 2.5-litre flat six-cylinder engine. This Olympic-class sports car has a black belt in horsepower and sporty powertrain refinement. With the optional hardtop, it could quite reasonably serve an owner as an only car. It feels considerably more solid and long-legged than most of its two-seater competitors. And yet, we'd hesitate to classify this ready roadster as a mere toy, even with its marginal (9.1 cubic feet of front and rear) trunk space and snuggish two-seat configuration.

All add immensely to the "basic" Boxster's already high fun factor. But what's an S? The S adds a central nose air intake feeding an extra radiator, red-painted brake calipers, bigger rotors, wheels and tires, a larger engine, a sixth gear, a convertible-top headliner, an alarm system, one more exhaust tip and one less steering-wheel spoke. But we have this rule about both hands on the wheel. Like some agile, delicately muscled gymnast confidently treading a balance beam, the Boxster S traces narrow two-lanes with quick-twitch muscle, precision, and rock-solid balance. And Porsche's Boxster S is an absolutely bewitching piece of road-going entertainment.
