Porsche Boxster S

A new Porsche is always an event. The third generation of the Boxster is more, the Roadster could be the hit of this summer. First driving report in the Boxster S.
Sometimes happiness just takes a few seconds. They are enough to make the top disappear behind the seats – and the world appears in different colors. While Germany is still frozen in the gray of winter, we are on our first trip in the new Porsche Boxster . Out on the country road, the new Boxster S is finely balanced and in a league of its own. The wheelbase, which has increased by 6.5 centimeters compared to its predecessor, calms the driving behavior. The Boxster goes around even tight corners neutrally and without any understeer.
The limit is so high that it borders on gross nonsense to even try to reach it on public roads – certainly also thanks to the 20-inch wheels, which are subject to a surcharge. The revised six-cylinder boxer masters all pitches with virtuosity. Trumpets, saws and barks its way through the speed range as angrily as only a Porsche can. The dual clutch transmission shifts into the right gear at the right time. The electromechanical steering no longer works as precisely as it used to – but it is also less sensitive to shock. But that's only one side of the Boxster. Because with the adaptive chassis it can also provide comfort. Routes that made Porsche drivers cringe a few years ago – no longer a problem.
