The Boxster, launched in 1996, has been a huge success for Porsche.With sales having improved steadily to reach today's level of 30,000 a year, it's now level-pegging with the legendary 911. There is no-one better to write about the Boxster than Paul Frere, himself something of a Porsche legend, as the author of Porsche 911 Story, now in its seventh edition. He tells the full story of this flagship two-seater, which, despite considerable performance, is remarkably practical for everyday road use.
