Whilst generating a huge amount of interest when shown as a concept car
in 1993, buyers had to wait until 1996 for the production version of the
Boxster. In true Porsche tradition, the model was subjected to a
programme of continuous development and allowed to evolve, with
increasingly sportier versions following year after year. Told by a
leading marque authority, this is the definitive story of Porsche's
affordable roadster from prototype stage to 2004, the year which
signalled the end of the original 986 series. The work is illustrated
with factory-sourced images and details of the cars sold in all the
major markets.
