Classic Car Overview
The Porsche 986 is the internal designation for the first generation Boxster, a mid-engine two-seater roadster built by German automobile manufacturer Porsche. Introduced in late 1996, the Boxster, based on the 1993 Boxster Concept, was Porsches first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the Porsche 914. The Boxsters name is derived from the word boxer, referring to the vehicles flat or boxer engine, and the name speedster, first seen on the 356. Powered by a 2.5-litre flat six-cylinder engine, the base model was upgraded to a 2.7-litre engine in the year 2000 and a new Boxster S variant was introduced with a 3.2-litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. The 986 was succeeded by the 987, which retained the Boxster roadster and added the Cayman fixed-roof coup body style. The 986 stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche, which during the early 1990s had been suffering with an ageing product range and falling sales, and its credited with saving the company.12 The 986 Boxster was Porsches biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the introduction of the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in 2003.1
