In 1953 the famous Porsche label badge was seen for the first time.The Porsche 911 was "born" in the year (1963) when JFK was assassinated and its look still survives. It became one of the biggest sports cars in the world and, together with the 356, is the foundation of the success Porsche has had so far. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans alone, now the oldest and most famous long-distance race in the world, Porsche has clinched victory no less than 15 times. In Formula 1, the world championship engine has come from Porsche on no less than three occasions.

"We think the new 1998 Porsche Boxster effectively consigns the 914 to history. This dramatically all-new mid-engined roadster opens a new chapter for the world's premier sports car company. This is a mid-engine car, as distinct from the rear-engined 356 and the 911, which means the engine is mounted ahead of the rear axle rather than over or behind it. This configuration yields excellent weight distribution."

Automobile Magazine calls the 2004 Porsche Boxster the All-Star Sports Car of the Year. Boxsters speak so clearly through the controls that driving becomes an existential quandary of human getting lost in machine, in the snarl of the flat-six and the gentle pulsing of the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Cynics will claim that there are less expensive sports cars that duplicate, or even surpass, a Boxster's quantifiable abilities, but none has its noble grace, which is rarely found in machines at any price.
