Porsche boxster crash test


The Porsche Boxster is a mid-engined roadster built by Porsche. The Boxster is Porsche’s first vehicle designed by Harm Lagaay from the beginning as a roadster; all previous Porsche convertibles were based on hardtop coupes. The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 as a 1997 model; it was powered by a 2.5 litre flat six-cylinder engine. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre motor, and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. In 2005, Porsche unveiled the new generation of Boxsters: the type 987. The 987 is more powerful than its predecessor and featured styling inspired by the Carrera GT. Engine output increased in 2007, when both Boxster models received the engines from their corresponding Porsche Cayman variants. In 2009, the Boxster models received several new cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, further increasing engine output and performance. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. Valmet Automotive also manufactures Boxsters under contract to Porsche at a facility in Uusikaupunki, Finland. The Boxster was Porsche’s biggest volume seller from its introduction in model year 1997 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in model year 2003. The Boxster’s name is a portmanteau of the word “boxer”, referring to the vehicle’s horizontally-opposed or “boxer

    @valereydyachuk : you’re right on that one, it does look like 20mph now, but um, hey mate, why are you using mpg? MPG is miles per gallon, which is the measurement for how much distance you can get for each gallon of fuel. The correct one is MPH, miles per hour, which is the measurement of disntance covered by speed. I mean it would have been fine if it were a typo but you typed it 3 times in your reply.

    @kronixusa If you believe this crash test was done at 30 mpg, you must be smoking crack and need to clean our eyes. It is obviously done at 15-20 mpg. Porsche cheated a little on this one. Take a look at all the other 30 mpg crash tests and see how the car’s nose folds, this one didn’t. If the nose doesn’t fold, then the occupants’ internal organs will.
