<P> Porsche unveiled its 2008 Limited Edition Boxster and Boxster S models at a private gathering down the street from the 2007 New York Auto Show . Largely inspired by the 2007 911 GT3 RS, just 250 examples of each model would be produced in brilliant orange and priced at $49,900 (original MSRP $45,800) and $59,900 (original MSRP $55,700) respectively . Clad in the striking RS - special orange paint of the 911 GT3 - RS with glossy black painted mirrors, alloy wheels, front and side air inlets, and model designation . The SportDesign package adds visual appeal, and includes aggressive front splitters, a revised rear two - stage spoiler that extends automatically at speed, and an integrated rear diffuser that Porsche says reduces aerodynamic lift . A sports exhaust system with a dual chromed exhaust tip is included, and is claimed to add a few more horsepower . Inside, a numbered' Limited Edition' plaque is found on the glove box door, while the seat inserts, 911 GT3 - spec steering wheel, and handbrake lever all receive Alcantara trim, a suede - like material used on performance Porsches like the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 RS . Orange roll - over hoops, door lever surrounds, shift knob, cup - holder cover trim and even the font on the gear shift pattern carrying bright orange that match the exterior color and offset the otherwise black interior . Only 250 each, Limited Edition Boxster and' S' models hit showrooms on 28 September 2008 . CNBC recently named the Limited Edition as one of its top 15 Most Desirable Porsches . </P> <P> On 5 November 2009, Porsche officially announced the creation of a new production Boxster which was officially unveiled at the 2009 Los Angeles Motor Show . Positioned above the Boxster S, the Boxster Spyder was the lightest Porsche on the market at the time, weighing 2,811 pounds (1,275 kg), a full 176 pounds (80 kg) lighter than a Boxster S . This was achieved through the elimination of the conventional soft top's operating mechanism, the radio / PCM unit, door handles, air conditioning, storage compartments, cupholders and large LED light modules on the front fascia, although some of these could be re-added to the car in the form of options . Weight savings was also gained using aluminum doors, an aluminum rear deck and the lightest 19 - inch wheels in the Porsche pallet . The vehicle rides on a firmer suspension than the other Boxster models, and is almost one inch lower in order to have firmer handling . A manually operated canvas top, carbon fiber sports bucket seats and two signature humps running along the back of the vehicle provide characteristic design elements . It is powered by a six - cylinder boxer engine with 320 horsepower (239 kW; 324 PS) and 273 lb ⋅ ft (370 N ⋅ m) of torque, a 10 hp (7.5 kW) increase over the engine in the Boxster S and the same engine used in the related Cayman S, with manual transmission as standard and Porsche's PDK dual - clutch gearbox as an option . The vehicle was released worldwide in February 2010 as a 2011 model with a base price of US $61,200 . </P> <P> After two years of development, the first model of the fastback coupé to be released was the Cayman S (type 987120). Photographs and technical details were released in May 2005, but the public unveiling took place at the September Frankfurt Motor Show . The S suffix (for Sport or Special) indicated that this was a higher performance version of a then unreleased normal model . That model, the Cayman (987110), went on sale in July 2006 . A motorsport - tuned model, the Cayman RS, is rumored to have been tested at the Nürburgring that same year . </P> <P> The Cayman fastback coupé (project 987c) and the second generation Boxster roadster (project 987) shared the same mid-engined platform and many components, including the front fenders and trunk lid, side doors, headlights, taillights, and forward portion of the interior . The design of the Cayman's body incorporates styling cues from classic Porsches; 356 / 1, the 550 Coupé and the 904 Coupé . Unlike the Boxster, the Cayman has a hatchback for access to luggage areas on top of and in the back of the engine cover . The entire aft portion of the Cayman is made from stainless steel . The suspension design is fundamentally the same as that of the Boxster with revised settings due to the stiffer chassis with the car's fixed roof . </P>
