Based on the GTS 4.0 model, which is powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder boxer engine with 294kW. Having launched in 1996 and currently, in its fourth generation, the Boxster has enjoyed much success with more than 357,000 units delivered globally.

The Boxster 25 Years limited edition has reinterpreted using the copper-brown Neodyme colour, which provides an exciting contrast to the primary GT Silver Metallic colour on the 993). The colour is used on the front apron, the side air intakes with a mono bar, and the lettering and the two-tone 20-inch alloy wheels in the anniversary model. The Boxster 25 Years will be offered in GT Silver Metallic although Deep Black Metallic and Carrara White Metallic are also available. The fuel filler cap is enhanced with an aluminium look as do the high-gloss tailpipes of the sports exhaust system while the windscreen surround is finished in contrasting black.
