Porsche Boxster Petrol Cars
The Porsche Boxster Petrol Turbo is an exceptional sports car designed to deliver maximum driving pleasure. This car is perfect for Kiwi drivers looking for a convertible that offers outstanding performance and handling, making it perfect for New Zealand’s scenic routes and winding roads.
The Boxster has always been an attractive two-seater, and this latest iteration is no exception. It features sleek, aerodynamic styling with aggressive curves, distinctive headlights and large air intakes to feed the powerful engine.
Under the hood, you'll find a 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that generates 300 horsepower (224kW), delivering blistering acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. With torque coming on strong at just over 1,900 rpm, the engine pulls hard right up to its redline at nearly 7,000 rpm.
Thanks to the PDK dual-clutch transmission, gear changes are lightning-fast, and there’s no interruption of power delivery between shifts. The seven-speed gearbox also helps ensure good fuel economy of around 8L/100km on the open road.
Handling is another strong point of the Boxster with excellent balance and composure thanks to its mid-engine layout. It feels light and nimble in corners with excellent feedback from the steering wheel that lets drivers place the car precisely where they want it.
Overall build quality is excellent too – as one would expect from Porsche – making this car not only fast but luxurious as well. The soft-top roof opens or closes in just under ten seconds while moving up to speeds of 50 km/h which means even unpredictable Kiwi weather shouldn't put a damper on top-down driving enjoyment.
In short: the Porsche Boxster Petrol Turbo packs a lot of performance into a compact sports car package that's ideal for driving in New Zealand. Drivers will enjoy great handling coupled with a luxurious ride without sacrificing comfort levels for speed. If you're after an all-round sports car suitable for both weekend blasts through the hills or longer distance touring then this could be your dream machine!
