Author: Brian Long, Hardbound, 160 Pages, ISBN: 9781845848040, 1st Edition, March, 2016

The 986 series Boxster was a huge sales success for Porsche, helping to revive the company's fortunes. It generated a huge amount of interest from the moment it was shown as a concept car in 1993, but buyers had to wait until 1996 for the production version of the Boxster.

In true Porsche tradition, the model was subjected to a programme of continuous development and allowed to evolve, with increasingly sportier versions following year after year.

Told by a leading marque authority, this is the definitive story of Porsche's original affordable roadster.
