Porsche has announced a new addition to the Boxster model line - the Boxster S Black Edition - which will be launched in May.
With just 987 cars pegged for production, this limited edition 320hp model offers a substantially larger range of standard equipment and exclusive special options than the Boxster S, all at a very attractive price.
The colour scheme for the Boxster S Black Edition is consistent throughout the interior and exterior.
The standard Sport Design steering wheel has a non-slip rim of smooth-black leather and sporty grips, while the trim strips of the dashboard and the gear selector are also black.
The dials on the instrument cluster are black as are the partial leather seats with the Porsche emblem embossed in the headrests.
As standard, the Boxster S Black Edition features the otherwise optional 'Comfort', 'Infotainment', and 'Design' equipment packages, and therefore comes at a more favourable price than a series model with comparable equipment options.
The wind deflector also comes as standard as do the anti-dazzle interior and exterior mirrors and the Porsche Communication Management (PCM). The model also features Bi-Xenon lights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights to help the driver see more clearly and be safer on dark roads.
A 3.4-litre six-cylinder engine with Direct Fuel Injection, mounted in front of the rear axle of the Boxster S Black Edition, supplies power to the car and its output is 320hp - 10hp more than in the Boxster S.
With its standard six-speed manual transmission, it accelerates from 0- 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, a tenth of a second faster than the Boxster S. The top model reaches its maximum speed at 276 km/h, outpacing the Boxster S by two kilometres per hour.
The basic retail price for the Boxster S Black Edition in the GCC market is $60,614 (around BD23,000). Orders can be placed at the Porsche Centre Bahrain. For more details contact 17459911 or visit the Sitra showroom.
