Boxster 25 Edition
Discussion
I have GTS 4.0 on order and deliberately didn't contact my sales rep for Boxster 25, due to the following reason:
I'm buying it to drive it, a lot, and not to keep in a garage as a museum piece, then sell it several years down the line.
25 is good for a museum; GTS is good for the rest

The recent Targa Heritage edition is something like £20k over list....I am sure a lot of people who missed out on them jumped on this. Let’s hope some of them go to people who want one for driving pleasure rather than what it’s worth.
I think I read somewhere that there will be two more 992 heritage editions, so possibly not. It would be interesting to get an insight into what type of buyers have bought them, have they been offered to people waiting for Spyder or Boxster GTS 4.0 build slots or to billy big balls who spends £0.5m+ a year with the OPC.stewieyan said:

Still the same car so will do the same thing ?I'm buying it to drive it, a lot, and not to keep in a garage as a museum piece, then sell it several years down the line.

That is a very odd position, if I may say so, the 25 is just a different take on the GTS and there is absolutely no reason not to drive one just as much as the other. Just buy whichever one you prefer the look of, assuming you can get one of course.
Exactly will cost around the same ,do exactly the same thing, but will be very rare and worth more.bigmowley said:

Indeed very odd... Armitage.Shanks said:
I must be the only person that thinks it looks terrible. It'd only missing more chrome. leopard skin seat covers and window tints. Spinners optional
Agree, it looks average and the wheels are awful.My experience of previous limited editions (550 Spyder and RS60 Spyder) is that their depreciation isn’t that much less than standard models so I’m not convinced that it would hold its value that much better than, say, a GTS.
My own spec of the Boxster 25 on the Porsche configuration came to £82k. For that money I could keep my 981 Spyder and spend the difference on something decent for the Mrs!

I would too ,but if your new to the game or fancied a gts anyway then yes its another option.

Oh the missed opportunities!!!
If only they would have done this with...
- Orange stripes across the bottom of the light lenses and orange side repeaters
- Red and orange tail lights
- The original 17" silver wheels and larger tyres
- No air con or PCM, just a radio and heater dials
- A manual hook on the roof
- And limited it to "launch" arctic sliver/basalt black cars with the original terracotta interior
I'd have been down to the OPC like a shot with a deposit!
Never mind, will just have to buy an old 986 for about £60k less then...
You're missing the plastic rear window, no large glovebox and if you really want that odd look the standard 16" wheels and hardtopIf only they would have done this with...

Indeed very odd... He has just ordered a new GTS, the following week they announce "Hey, we have a new one out that is the same but limited so will go up in value vs loosing s
t loads. Oh, but you can't have one." It must smart a bit.
