Porsche Boxster RS60: Preview

No real news here for regular followers of The German Car Blog, but a nice roundup what to get from the Porsche Boxster RS60.

A total of only 1960 of the new 2009 Porsche Boxster RS60 roadsters will be built, about 800 earmarked for the U.S., company officials told TheCarConnection.com. While the name commemorates Porsche’s racer, the production number matches the year the original RS60 left its mark, for the first time, on the motor sports world.

Inside, there are three individual gauge pods. Three interior colors are available, though Carrera Red is standard. There’s only one exterior shade, GT Silver Metallic.

A sport exhaust completes the package.

On the technical side, Porsche’s Active Sport Management suspension system is standard, as well, where it is optional on the Boxster S.

Look for a price tag of $64,900, compared with $55,700 for the Boxster S. Porsche officials estimate the 2009 Boxster RS60 comes with an added $10,000 in equipment, however.
