This Porsche Boxster S: A Slice of Automotive Art
This isn’t just any Porsche Boxster S; it’s the celebrated #081 from a mere 250 in the 2008 Limited Edition lineup. Imagine it: a stunning shade of orange complemented by sleek black leather and Alcantara adornments. Beneath the hood lies a robust 3.4-liter flat-six engine, paired with a six-speed manual transaxle that promises the purest driving thrill. Now, let’s dive into all the extras: think Sport Chrono Package Plus, a stylish black soft top, and those eye-catching 19″ Carrera S wheels. And the cherry on top? The whole package comes wrapped up in heated seats, Porsche Communication Management, a Bose sound system, impeccable climate control, and trusty cruise control.
Initially gracing the streets of Jackson, Mississippi, this beauty made its rounds through Texas, Florida, and California before finding its way to the current dealer in 2025. Still wondering if it’s been cared for? With just 28k miles on the clock, it’s got a buff record of service and a pristine California title.
The Orange Dream
Now let’s talk visuals. The Boxster is a visual symphony, decked out in its Orange (8C6) hue and a power-laden black convertible top. Picture this: bi-xenon headlights, decadent Boxster S script decals lining the sides, and a speed-savvy rear spoiler. Top it off with a center-exit dual exhaust that gives the sporty edge it deserves. In February 2023, the left B-pillar gasket of the soft top got a brand new lease on life. Though, for perfectionists among us, some front bumper touches have quietly been attended to.
Rolling on Wheels of Style
The 19″ Carrera S wheels are the stuff of automotive dreams. Wrapped in 235/35 front and 265/35 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE050a tires, these shoes are made for not just walking, but flying. Stability? Thanks to Porsche Stability Management, that’s covered. Brakes, you ask? Four-piston Porsche-branded calipers working on cross-drilled rotors—12.5″ up front and 11.8″ in the rear. And what about maintenance? Power steering fluid filled in 2022, and a neat brake fluid flush as recent as June 2023.
Interior Intimacy
Slide inside. Feel the indulgence of black leather with Alcantara seats, adjusted to your preference with the sweet touch of heat. Orange trim sings throughout the cabin, highlighting door panels, the dash, center console, and roll-hoops.
Amenities bust out in full force:
- A dashboard-mounted chronograph – time’s never looked this good.
- A wind deflector – for that no-hair-out-of-place speed experience.
- A Bose sound system – because sound matters.
What’s more, in 2023, one of the door sill plate inserts got a fresh start.
Who said cars can’t be art on wheels?
A Plaque That Speaks Volumes
In the passenger-side ride of this motor symphony, a gleaming plaque loudly and proudly touts this car’s uniqueness: #081 of 250 Limited Edition examples. It’s a badge of honor for the Divine amongst ordinary humans.
Driving Dynamics
Now pay close attention to this: The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a prime selection of instruments, starting from a bold 8k-rpm tachometer to a 190-mph speedometer, with crucial gauges for fuel and coolant readability. And yes, the odometer reads a satisfying 28k miles, proving that this beauty’s story has just begun.
Heart of the Beast
This stunner snaps to life with a 3.4-liter flat-six heart, showcasing factory boasts of 295 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of raw torque. And trust this: an oil change has been freshly done as preparation for future escapades.
In terms of transmission, power gallops to the rear wheels via a smooth six-speed manual transaxle. Wondering what’s happening underneath? Well, the gallery below unveils the guts of this beauty.
Here’s a kicker: This Porsche’s Carfax history presents a squeaky-clean record, free from accidents and any hint of mischief, all the way from Mississippi to the glamour of California.
For those nodding to the tune of Nissan Note or BMW X3, it’s clear that iconic names live in all automotive corners, but this Porsche’s legacy? It writes its own chapter.
