New 718 Boxster Pictures

[Whaleblue]

I see a thread for 718 Caymans, so thought a similar thread for 718 Boxsters was in order.

I won't have mine until March, so over to you that already have the pleasure!

This is my 718.

Perfect - mine will be its twin! If you have any more pics I'd be particularly interested to see them while I wait...

In fact I've just heard a few minutes ago mine's gone into lockdown, and if all goes to plan will be with my dealer 'early March'.

I hope these are enough. Enjoy your car when it arrives.

Dyffed, it looks gorgeous and very similarly specced to mine, so great to see. Appreciated.

My partner has one on order. Graphite blue with Crayon/Black and same wheels. Delivery has snuck up on us. Should be getting next month or for March reg.

She worried that she should have gone for Agate Grey. And now she saw the half red interior on some she is liking that too.

I'm hopeful she'll like ours as much having not see that combo in flesh yet. Really pleased how good the 19s look. Went smaller as not diamond cut and being smaller a bit more rim protection and more repairable.

Below image is closest I've found.

Had this a month now. GT Silver Bordeaux/Black leather.

Do the OEM tyres have a bit of rim protection? Can't quite make out on pics.

[ellroy]

If they're Eagle F1 they do tend to stick out a bit proud of the rims.

My wife bought this last month, hopefully its downloaded ok, its a 718 in Carmine with manual gear box, carbon/alcantara interior, heated seats and steering wheel, rain sensor, folding mirrors, entry and drive, sports chrono and exhaust.
She loves it, Ive got a manual GTS which she really enjoys driving, she tried a PDK but wasn't feeling the love for it so went for manual as she enjoys the interaction with the car.
Ive read all about the noise issues with the 2lt turbo engine but the PSE really is good and certainly adds to the driving experience of the car.
Hope you guys like it.

Loving the Carmine with those wheels. What finish are those wheels, gloss black or jet black metallic?

[Mark-bt8gu]

Rocs, thank you, they are black gloss.

I originally ordered Agate, but switched to Graphite Blue. They're both great colours, but in the end the GB just won me over - it takes a while, but once you get it, you get it.

I hope your OH loves it.

That's what I'm thinking. New colour, something different. I really hope she does too otherwise I'm in trouble!!

Car should have docked today and is due into dealership by end of week so will know soon. We're not planing to take delivery for a few weeks though.

When was your lockdown and expected build date, just wondering as mine is due soon. My lockdown was on the 25/11

Mark, that looks absolutely great. If you have any photos of the dash and interior they would be incredibly useful, as very close to my spec for a Cayman that's being built in (I very much hope) May this year.

Thanks, bear with me and I'll get one or two on the site.
As far as the interior goes we told the salesman that we wanted to have a similar interior to a GTS...alcantar/carbon etc..which we pretty much got except we thought when we said a carbon interior we were getting all the interior, he only put it on the dash and not the doors.
Im assuming that we could have had it on the doors? Its not horrendous though but its something a bit further down the line I will get changed if I can.
As has been mentioned numerous times before there are so many options that it gets a bit mind blowing, you could ask 1000 people to choose a car and we'd all come up with a different one.
All said and done though we really like the car.
