  Porsche 986 Boxster
The Boxster is a mid-engine roadster that takes its name from the union of Porsche’s classic, horizontally opposed six-cylinder “boxer” engine architecture with a roadster body.
In the case of the Boxster, that body echoes such famous mid-engine Porsche sports and racing cars as the 550 Spyder and the RS60.
Completing the subtle but significant changes for the Boxster for 2003 are the addition of such standard features as a new, 911-style cupholder that pops out of the dashboard, remote unlocking front and rear trunks as well as the passenger doors, and a lighted and locking glove compartment.
