Porsche Black Editions announced

As a tactic for securing a few additional car sales, launching a black-themed special edition is quick, easy and lazy. And that probably explains why so many manufacturers have tried it. The latest (once again) is Porsche.

This time the Boxster and 911 Carrera are getting the treatment. Naturally they come with flat black paintwork (rather meanly, metallic black paint costs extra) and matching interiors.

As well as some unique doorsill kick plates bearing ‘Black Edition’ logos, the new models also feature plenty of items that are usually on the options list.

For the Boxster Black Edition, these include a set of 20” ‘Carrera Classic’ wheels, a net-type wind deflector and bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System.

Among its other upgrades are part-leather upholstery, seat heating, automatic climate control and touchscreen-based satellite navigation.

The four 911 Carrera Black Editions meanwhile gain 20” ‘911 Turbo’ alloy wheels, parking sensors front and rear, a rear reversing camera, a Bose audio system and LED headlights.
