Launched on a welcoming public in 1995, the mid-engined two-seater Boxster was the affordable 'real' Porsche that so many had been waiting for. Developed by Porsche in response to a show-stealing Audi concept car in the mid-nineties, the Boxster drew heavily on Porsche design heritage. This made it a strong contender in terms of style to its German rivals. The Boxster sold well from its launch, and it remains one of the most popular cars in its category today. Gavin Farmer's history of the car looks at the genesis and development in all its versions. It examines Porsche tuners and modification kits, and offers advice on buying and running a Boxster.

This review is from: Porsche Boxster (Hardcover)
I have two books about Boxsters " Porsche Boxter Story The entire development story" by Paul Frere and this one. I can say that this book is by far much better. It has many pictures of the development of the Boxster and a lot of historical information that lacks in the Paul Frere Book.
The Paul Frere book is more of a description of the development of the Boxsters since 1997 but doesn't go back to the drawing board and inside the minds of the people who developed it. If you ask me I would say without hesitation: Go for this one. If you are a Boxster owner this is the book you should have in your collection.
5.0 out of 5 stars
