History of Model
Tony Hatter & his 993 design team pushed management for a special edition finale to punctuate the 993 generation Ocean rolled off the line in the final 6 months of 993 production.
The V-program was a special edition WTL turbo look variant to celebrate the end of the short production run on the 993. The first generation of 911 to use turbo fenders and aero on a non turbo model.
The 993 C2S was the more coveted version of this due to its purist RWD and a more limited production at the time of release allocation.
OceanBoxster was rolled out of Zuffenhausen October 10th, 1997 arriving to Porsche Fort Wayne Indiana December 1st 1997
-
One of only 3700 units produced worldwide including right hand drive. Tony Hatter petitioned management to approve a special budget for the naturally aspirated turbo look variants to capitalize on the end of the 993 production run.
The mid 90s was a time of very conservative specs in porsche. We spent years finding an example with such a unicorn 🦄 combination of exterior depth and interior dynamism as Boxster is absolutely remarkable in person.

Oceanboxster has a prolific feeling in the cockpit, truly remarkable throttle response and superb grip in the windies. The VARIORAM adds a lot of power to peak of the band resulting in a true ear to ear grin on every spirited drive.
We have driven every era of 911 and we find that the 993 serves as the perfect balance of analog outputs while maintaining the modern necessities and comfortable for touring and trips.
