Powertrain Options and Availability
Mounted behind the cockpit, the initial 2.5-liter, horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine developed 201 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard. Boxsters might instead have Porsche's 5-speed "Tiptronic" transmission, which allows manual (but clutchless) gear selection. Two new dual-overhead-cam engines emerged for 2000: an enlarged (2.7-liter) base six, and a 3.2-liter six for the new high-performance S model, which got a 6-speed manual gearbox. For '03 base engine gained 11 horsepower while the S engine gained 8.
