In 2008, the Porsche sports car brand rounded off its range of dynamic mid-engine sports cars to the top. 2 new special models are presented: The Cayman S "Sport" and the Boxster S "Design Edition 2", both of which generate 303 hp from a 3.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine and thus 8 hp more than the respective S models. But the real highlight is the exclusive equipment, the particularly striking design and, of course, the limited number of pieces for a special model: In the case of the Boxster S Design Edition 2, this means 500 numbered copies. A plaque in the interior on the glove compartment lid provides more detailed information about which number it is.

In this auction, the no. 301/500 of the strictly limited series of the Porsche Boxster S "Design Edition 2" can be purchased. This Boxster S of the type 987 with the FIN WP0ZZZ98Z8U723728 was produced at the beginning of 2009 and only registered on Porsche for the first time on 05.01.2012. Between production and initial registration, this limited-edition Boxster S spent its time in the Porsche showroom. From 2012, the first and so far only vehicle owner drove the Porsche with an annual mileage of about 4,700 KM only in nice and dry weather. A complete history and all documents and invoices associated with the car are neatly arranged in a folder and are available together with 2 vehicle keys. The seller mentions that since the first registration of this special model, the Porsche Approved Warranty has been regularly extended every 2 years. The currently valid TÜV runs until March 2023, matching numbers are given.

The exterior design of this special model is striking: "Carrera white" – which has long been part of Porsche's colour palette – is the name of the paint colour, which is even more emphasised by the grey longitudinal and side stripes applied ex works. According to the seller, repainting or modifications are not present, the condition of the exterior can be described as extremely good, as there is obviously neither damage nor signs of use. At the rear, the lights are completely in red, the side air intakes are painted white. The soft top is classically kept in gray – cracks or abrasion marks in the fabric skin are not to be found.

The further visual appearance of the Design Edition 2 is ensured by the white painted rim stars of the standard 19-inch Sport-Design wheels with 5 millimetre spacers. Tyres of the Michelin brand from the production year 2019 ensure good road adhesion. The condition of the brakes is stated by the seller as in order. In the chassis area of this limited special model, a standard lowering of 10 millimetres ensures good road holding.

Porsche also takes up the colour scheme of the exterior of the Boxster S Design Edition 2 in the interior: the rear part of the centre console and the dials of the round instruments are kept in Carrera white. The Sport Chrono Package and sports seats complete the exclusive appearance in the interior of this Porsche. The gear lever, handbrake handle and the crown of the GT3 steering wheel are covered with Alcantara and thus provide accents in the interior. A plaque on the glove compartment lid identifies this Boxster S Design Edition 2 as the No. 301 out of a total of 500 copies produced. The door sills read "Porsche Design Edition 2". According to the seller, no damage to the interior is known. The equipment is rich: Among other things, there are automatic climate control, bi-xenon headlights, rear parking aids, heated seats, cruise control, PASM suspension adjustment, flap exhaust and a PCM navigation system on board the Boxster S.

The mileage of 47,100 kilometres of this Porsche can be proven beyond doubt. All invoices and all receipts for the vehicle are available next to the complete on-board folder. The Porsche checkbook is complete, every single inspection was carried out at Porsche. All instruments are in perfect operation.

303 hp – 8 hp more than the normal Boxster S – are extracted from the well-known 3.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine. The power of the 6 cylinders is transmitted to the rear wheels via an impeccably shiftable 6-speed manual transmission. A final maintenance took place in June 2022 at mileage 47,061, the drive belt and spark plugs were renewed in April 2020 at mileage 43,298.
According to the age and low mileage, the condition of the subfloor is preserved. In this special model, the carefully selected materials and the targeted design language sum up Porsche's claim: to give an already exclusive product an even more noticeable nuance. Limited to 500 copies worldwide, this Design Edition 2 is suitable for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Due to the exemplary ordered and preserved history, you can see from this Boxster S how much the car has been cared for by its owner and what a high priority the car represented for him.
