Sex Appeal - Porsche Boxster S
 Porsche.
Even the word sounds sexy. We all fell in love with the
Boxster when it was first introduced—especially the
contemporary styling, which was such a departure from
the 911. We loved the handling, the top-down experience,
and we even liked the low-for-Porsche sticker price. What
we wanted was more go, and with the new S, that’s
what we got. Horsepower was bumped from 201 to 250, and
torque shot up from 180 to 225.
Bigger
brakes, the six-speed manual from the 911, and more sport tuning start the drool
going as soon as the roadster comes into view. For a 2000 spotter’s guide,
look for a center air intake outside in front and titanium colored trim pieces
inside. They say that men are the real Porschephiles, but for women who understand
what real power feels like, there is no other choice in a ragtop.
