During last month's New York Auto Show, Porsche displayed a Boxster coated in GT3 orange dubbed the Splashlight. There was no question that this "design exercise" was going to evolve into a limited edition version of Porsche's mid-engined masterpiece, and now, it's official.

The SportDesign Boxster is limited to 500 units, 250 plain-Jane versions and 250 models sporting an "S" on the bootlid. The exterior gets the aforementioned hue, along with a SportDesign-specific body kit made up of a redesigned, deployable wing and a series of diffusers, fore and aft. Black rims with a polished lip round out the package, tying in nicely to the black accents.

On the inside, the lucky few get Alcantara trim lining the seats and steering wheel, which should keep occupants firmly planted when the driver decides to mash the throttle and enjoy the new sport exhaust.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but we'd expect a moderate bump in over the base models.

Porsche Exclusive has a Cayenne for you]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/10/into-metal-porsche-exclusive-has-a-cayenne-for-you/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/10/into-metal-porsche-exclusive-has-a-cayenne-for-you/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/10/into-metal-porsche-exclusive-has-a-cayenne-for-you/#commentsFiled under: , ,

Porsche Exclusive-prepped Cayenne Turbo

This month, Porsche drops the Cayenne S "Titanium Edition" on the North American market. It's a sweet deal that dresses the S up in titanium trim and includes a number of popular options at a reduced price.  It's a compelling package for anyone considering the V8 Cayenne. After all, a deal is a deal.

For the less budget-minded, however, the in-house customization arm known as Porsche Exclusive can rock your world. You want metal? Porsche Exclusive brings it hardcore with the Cayenne Turbo Titanium Metallic. The folks at PE will take your turbocharged Cayenne and give it a makeover that will frighten small dogs and children and have Prius drivers giving you the finger.

First of all, the Cayenne Turbo Powerkit boosts output from 450 to 500 horsepower. A 500 HP kickplate in the door sill announces the upgrade to passengers as they get in. (Even better: Just buy a 520 HP Turbo S and use that as your starting point.) The SportDesign packages adds some visual zip, and is complemented by aluminum trim on the gaping front intakes and sideview mirrors. 20" painted SportDesign rims finish things off nicely.

Inside, carbon fiber trim is everywhere, and other goodies such as headrest-mounted LCD screens are available if you want them. The whole package looks great, and gives the Cayenne a mean look befitting a Porsche.

Of course, Porsche Exclusive can dress up your vehicle however you like. The fire-breathing Titanium Metallic turbo is just an example of what they can do. From the look of it, they do things very, very well.

Thanks to reader  David P. for the heads-up!
