When the sleek and sporty Boxster debuted in 1997, it revolutionized the Porsche experience for enthusiasts worldwide. One look at this particular 1998 Porsche Boxster, and it's easy to see why this car has become a favorite not only among Porsche enthusiasts but also among driving purists everywhere. With just 85,970 actual miles on its odometer, this Arctic Silver convertible looks great from any angle, with its power black top up or down.
Inside, we find a luxurious black leather interior. A center console separates a pair of power bucket seats, designed to be both supportive during twists and turns and plush enough for long road trips. A compact and padded power-assisted steering wheel features the company's crest, while just ahead, a three-pod gauge cluster showcases Porsche's large center-mounted 7,000 rpm tachometer, accompanied by a speedometer and a combination fuel and engine temperature gauge on either side. An AM/FM/CD player head unit handles soundtrack duties, while power windows, mirrors, and locks, along with cruise control and air conditioning, provide a range of modern amenities.
Pop the hood and you'll find this car's spare tire, because the Boxster offers up a traditional rear trunk, a novel front trunk, or frunk, thanks to its mid-mounted engine placement. Power comes from a 2.5-liter water-cooled DOHC flat-six-cylinder engine. Thanks to its aluminum construction, sequential fuel injection, and Porsche's VarioCam variable cam timing system, this potent naturally-aspirated motor produced 201 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque when it rolled off the assembly line. That power is funneled through a fun five-speed manual transmission before the transaxle sends those ponies to the pavement via a set of five-spoke wheels shod in 255/40ZR-17 Continental rubber. At the same time, a narrower set of 205/50ZR-17 Continental tires handles steering duties up front.
