The second generation of Porsche Boxster came out in 2004 at the Geneva Motor Show and shared almost the same design with the first version of the car.
However, the first thing you’ll notice when comparing the two versions is the redesigned headlights which are similar to the ones installed on the 911 Carrera model. The front air intakes got redesigned, as well as the rear bumper and stoplights. The wheel arches got bigger to allow the installment of bigger rims, while the interior got a more prominent circular theme.
The interior still pointed to the racing heritage with the presence of a tachometer which was the main dial in the instrument panel and the ignition switch was placed on the left side of the steering wheel. The leather upholstery was standard and the trims could be ordered with a choice of materials such as wood, aluminum or wood. The additions list included a Bose sound system, bi-xenon headlights and a navigation system.
The engine was still the same 2.7-liter installed on the facelifted variant unveiled in 2002, producing 240 horsepower and a maximum power of 159 mph. In 2006, the engine got upgraded to generate 5 extra horsepower and also gained a new 6-speed manual gearbox. The new Boxster was produced until 2008 when the German manufacturer presented a new upgrade.
