Former BMW enthusiast here - as BMW is desacrating its heritage, I just bought my first Porsche - a 987, and its so nice to see Porsche paying so much respect to its past. Love Porsche.
(BMW) Bayerisch Mist Wagon for sure. They slutted their name and credibility. You have chosen wisely fellow Porsche owner!
The world owes its gratitude to these two men, and of course to the thousands of women and men who worked with them to brilliantly save Porsche. I hope most people will agree that in our time, Porsche produces the most wonderful automobiles on planet Earth. These two gentlemen are a huge part of the reason that is true.
Hey this is great.. Because of these guys I could get excited about this brand and bought my first Porsche. What caught my attention was playing the game Porsche Unleashed : Need for Speed. I could never imagine owning any other convertible other than the Boxster.
They owe it to Toyota too! Lol
I have a 986 Boxster S and I can see and feel the investment and love that was instilled in every part of this car. These wonderful men dedicated a part of their lives to this fantastic project that I enjoy every time I drive it. Thank you very much.
Fabulous. I had a 2000 Boxster S in Arctic Silver. 6 speed. Nicest car I have ever owned. Missed it badly and recently purchased a 2014 981 Boxster S. Also incredible but not any better than the 2000 I had. Both mind blowing machines and more than enough for hauling serious ass or cruising in the sunshine. The perfect car.
I have a friend that had a Boxster, he then got himself a GT3. Im his navigator in our local rally and get to chat to Porsche club members (I’m an associate member) I have not made the move to own one, I thought it was beyond me. They are lovely people, encouraging and welcoming to those that can see what an amazing history and passion for these cars and the road Porsche have.
My 986 is truly the best sports car I have ever owned! High quality auto!
This was so great. Thank you for sharing!!
I always loved the Porsche 550. I have a model of it. My dad's friend was on the waiting list for one of the very first Boxsters. I remember when he brought it round after it arrived. Can't believe that was 25 years ago!
Really excellent insight. Brilliant interview with it's purposeful pace ..... you could really sense the emotion and love for the car coming from both Mr Marchant and Mr Larson.
Thank you for this video. I was wanting to learn about the history of the Porsche I bought this week. A 2004 Porsche 986 Boxster S, 6 speed transmission, 87K on the odometer, midnight blue with a medium grey and black interior. It's my first Porsche. I'm letting the car teach me how to handle it. :)
I'm so glad they developed the Boxster as if not I wouldn't be enjoying my 981 cayman. I absolutely love this car!
They should have mass produced the concept car it is much nicer then any 911 I have seen .
Thank you for posting! Love my 986 S!
Love my 987!
I agree with Grant Larson’s choice of the 986 and 987 as his preferred choices of the Boxster. Designwise, both display clear visual links to the 550 and 718 RSK. These visual links have become less evident with later models.
I have the 2.7 Boxster in arctic silver came with a hardtop love the look with the hard top on although love to remove it in the summer one of the best cars I’ve owned
An Honor well deserved 👏👏👏
I just bought one a few days ago! Totally needs TLC but what a fun car!
Lendas automotivas e excelência mecânica, difícil ter concorrentes na mesma categoria tão eficientes como os Porsches.
126,000 miles and going. 986
Interesting interview...Pinky Lai shoul have been mentioned though even if retired from Porsche since 2014.
why did porsche make a second model?
why's the first boxster better than the second?🙂
I own a 718 Boxster S and I am very satisfied, I think the 4-cylinder boxer engine is a very good engine with good power and torque, but underestimated by many, and perhaps even by Porsche, which for the "25 years" model chose the 6-cylinder, at almost the same price of the base 911 Carrera...
6-cyl > 4-cyl T
@@Nowageopolityka maybe you should drive both… before speaking…
@@stevenice1485 maybe before speaking you should find whether I have driven both?
Btw driving difference between 4T and 6 is not everything. Bur I don’t suspect you to know about all that.
And somehow Porsche chose a 6 cylinder over a current 4T in their 25 year anniversary. But what do they know.
Lol
@@Nowageopolityka so why not a v8 or a v10? even better! the boxster saved Porsche from bankruptcy because it is an entry level ... the 25 anniversary is a 4-liter and costs 100k euros ... with that money or a little more, I rather buy a 911 Carrera ... you do as you want ... lol
@@stevenice1485 see, you exactly prove my point: a more expensive car is fitted with a 6 cylinder over a 4T. Exactly. 6 cylinder is more expensive to manufacture and fit. It’s also better. You try to come up with a counterpoint yet it leads you to the bottom. Lol
6 > 4T
As far as 8 cyl or more. What exactly would be the benefit in a light car? Cost and size up but very little benefit. I don’t believe you’re that limited.
Boxer détail von boxer y have SLK kompressor Mercedes cabrio my cars good boxer you have new modèle from boxer you informations from my and y seeh this ich spreche auch Deutsche aber der boxer ist nicht my ding habe sie wass anderes in cabrio um den preiss vom boxer und auch vorfuhrwagen ich warte auf information von ihne
I wish two different voice were used for the translation. A female voice for the female and male voice for the male. Becomes easier to listen, understand and differentiate between the different speakers. Lost interest after 10 minutes sadly. I’m a 718 Boxster owner 😊
The music is terribly distracting and is not needed.
