SportDesign package yours for £3,000-ish
Purity and grace personified. Not words we’d immediately associate with the second gen Boxster. Especially not compared with the pretty and petite original Boxster prototype of 1993. Whether Porsche’s latest Boxster buffage, in the form of this dubious SportDesign bodykit, makes matters better or worse, far be it from us to speculate. Suffice to say that it will rape your wallet to the tune of €4,060 in Germany as an optional extra at the point of purchase. Existing owners can partake of this arguable aesthetic awesomeness for just €3,422, plus fitting charges…
Expect UK pricing in the £3k ballpark. For the record, the kit includes a pair of front spoiler implements and a modified rear assembly with integrated diffuser. But the crowing turd, dare we say, is the reprofiled pop-up rear spoiler. It’s just a little bit nasty. Oh, and this little lot is claimed to reduce lift without creating additional drag. And there was much rejoicing.
Images for your viewing pleasure. First the new SportDesign kit:
And second, what might have been. The original Boxster concept of ’93. It’s hardly dated – astonishing:
