Parts and Replacements for Porsche BOXSTER (1997-Present)

Information about the Porsche Boxster and Parts Compatibility

The Porsche Boxster was launched in the mid-1990s as a strategic project to revitalize the brand, combining a design inspired by historical models such as the 356 Speedster and the 550 Spyder with a modern technical concept.

Origin and Features of the Porsche Boxster

Introduced in 1996 as the 1997 model, the Boxster was the first production Porsche with a mid-mounted, water-cooled flat-six engine.

Its key features include a balanced weight distribution, rear-wheel drive, and a finely tuned chassis designed to offer precise and sporty handling. Built as a two-seater roadster, the Boxster quickly became one of Porsche’s best-selling models, laying the foundation for the 718 family that continues to this day.
