Background
The 987 Boxster arrived for the 2005 model year with new bodywork and a redesigned interior. The headlamps became oval units, distinct from the round lamps of the 997-generation 911 introduced at the same time. The mid-engined two-seat layout and the electrically operated soft top carried over from the 986.
The Boxster used a 2.7-litre flat-six and the Boxster S a 3.2, with a five-speed manual on the Boxster, a six-speed on the S, and the five-speed Tiptronic S optional on both. For 2007 the Boxster S moved to the 3.4-litre engine of the Cayman S. Porsche Active Suspension Management, an adaptive damping system, was offered as an option.
The 987 Boxster was the basis for the Cayman, a fixed-roof coupé introduced for 2006 on the same platform. The 2008 Boxster RS 60 Spyder, built on the Boxster S with a higher-output 3.4-litre engine, took its name from the 718 RS 60 Spyder racing car of 1960. The .1 suffix is common shorthand rather than a Porsche designation, separating these cars from the revised 987 of 2009.
