Overview
The 2013 Porsche Boxster Convertible is a compact convertible offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $49,500. For that price, it directly competes with the BMW Z4, the Mercedes Benz SLK 350, and the Audit TTS. Between 2 trims, the Porsche Boxster offers two powertrains. The base engine is a 2.7L Flat-6 capable of making 265 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 315 horsepower-making 3.4L Flat-6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual as standard but there is also an optional 7-speed automatic transmission.
The Porsche Boxster reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.6 seconds on its first engine, which gets pumped up to 4.7 seconds with the 3.4L Inline-6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Porsche Boxster can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 24 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the Porsche Boxster comes in really pull you towards itself.
