Porsche Boxster 2008

Here’s Why I Bought This Porsche for Lee Munro’s Garage—and Why You May Want It in Yours

No. 199 of Only 250 Produced | 82,655 Kilometres | Sport Chrono Plus | Sport Exhaust

Not every special edition is truly special. The 2008 Porsche Boxster S Limited Edition was.

Only 250 Boxster S Limited Editions were produced for North America, and this is No. 199. Its unmistakable Orange finish, contrasting black details and carefully selected performance equipment make it one of the most distinctive versions of the 987-generation Boxster.

We originally sold this Porsche in 2019. It has been carefully maintained and serviced since then, giving us the valuable opportunity to offer a special car with which we already have a history.

Here’s why this Porsche made the grade.

No. 199 of Only 250

This is not simply a Boxster S in an unusual colour. It is an individually numbered factory Limited Edition—No. 199 of only 250 Boxster S examples produced for North America.

Its vibrant Orange finish was inspired by the colour made famous by the contemporary Porsche 911 GT3 RS. More than a decade and a half later, it remains instantly recognizable and gives this Boxster a presence few modern roadsters can match.

Genuine Limited Edition Equipment

Porsche distinguished the Limited Edition with far more than paint and badging.

Factory details include:

• SportDesign exterior package
• Sport exhaust system
• Orange-painted roll-over bars
• 19-inch Limited Edition black alloy wheels
• Black exterior mirrors
• Black front and side air intakes
• Redesigned rear spoiler and diffuser
• Black interior with Alcantara seat inserts
• Individually numbered Limited Edition identification

The contrast between the Orange bodywork and black exterior details gives the car a purposeful, motorsport-inspired appearance without compromising the clean proportions of the original design.

Porsche’s Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six

Power comes from Porsche’s 3.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, producing 295 horsepower.

Mounted immediately behind the occupants, the engine gives the Boxster S excellent balance, immediate response and the distinctive sound that defines a traditional Porsche sports car. The factory sport exhaust adds a deeper, more purposeful voice when the road and occasion permit.

This is performance delivered without turbochargers or artificial sound—just a responsive flat-six, a balanced mid-engine chassis and an open road ahead.

An Exceptional Factory Specification

In addition to its Limited Edition equipment, this Boxster S includes:

• Sport Chrono Package Plus
• Factory sport exhaust
• PCM 2.1 navigation
• Bose High-End Sound System
• Bi-Xenon headlamps
• Heated seats
• Black Alcantara sport seats
• Black power-operated convertible top
• Porsche Windstop
• 19-inch Limited Edition black alloy wheels

Sport Chrono Plus and the factory sport exhaust enhance the driving experience, while heated seats, navigation, Bose audio and the Windstop make the car comfortable and usable on longer journeys.

A Porsche We Know

We sold this Boxster S in 2019 and have now had the opportunity to welcome it back. It has been carefully enjoyed, maintained and serviced since then.

That familiarity matters. Rather than encountering the car for the first time, we are able to offer a Porsche that has previously passed through our selection and preparation process.

The 987 Boxster S Experience

The 987 Boxster S is widely admired for its hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated flat-six and beautifully balanced mid-engine chassis. It delivers an immediacy and mechanical connection that have become increasingly difficult to find in newer performance cars.

With 82,655 kilometres, this example is special enough to collect but usable enough to enjoy without hesitation. Lower the roof, select the sport exhaust and take the road that adds half an hour to the journey home.

Before being offered for sale, this Boxster S was thoroughly road-tested, inspected by independent licensed technicians, professionally detailed and prepared for delivery. It is offered Ontario Safety Certified.

For the Porsche enthusiast seeking genuine rarity, distinctive factory styling and one of the marque’s most rewarding modern roadsters, No. 199 deserves serious consideration.
