Porsche Boxster 2.7 driven

Ever since the new Boxster turned up dripping in active this and assisted that, Top Gear has been dying to get its hands on a basic version. For no other reason than to check the more realistic variants in the range support the hype being ladled out to the £50k-plus machines.

It's true to say that there's a paucity of boggo Porsches, but, as far as it goes, this 2.7-litre, 265bhp Boxster is it. It's got optional wheels and a couple of other bits, but is more or less a basic Boxster.
