Boxster enters its second generation with the 2005 models
building on their strong heritage with enhanced dynamic performance
and safety technologies.The 2005 Boxster and the

wheels and new-generation high-performance tires. Styling

2005
Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S Coupe
The launch of the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S marks the first
time since 1977 that Porsche offers buyers two engine choices
within the 911 model range. The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S
is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces 355
(SAE) horsepower and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton meters) of
torque.
An "S" designation also has special meaning at
Porsche, signifying a unique model, not a mere trim upgrade
or option package, and the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S is
no exception. In addition to its larger and more powerful
engine, this sports car comes with the new Porsche Active
Suspension Management technology on a list of standard equipment
that includes distinctive red brake calipers, large wheels,
Bi-Xenon headlights and a sports-oriented interior.

2005
Porsche 911 Carrera / Carrera S Cabriolet
Just months after launching the highly acclaimed new Porsche
911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S Coupes, Porsche introduces
the Cabriolet versions of both cars as 2005 models.
The introduction of the 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera and the
2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S marked the first time since 1977
that Porsche equips the 911 with a range of engines, and
those same enginespower the new Cabriolets. The 2005 Porsche
911 Carrera Cabriolet is propelled by a 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder
engine with 325 horsepower (SAE) while the 2005 Porsche 911
Carrera S Cabrioletdraws on a 3.8-liter flat six that provides
355 horsepower (SAE) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newtonmeters)
of torque.

2005
Porsche 911 Turbo S
The 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo body is unchanged but it is now
available as a "S" in either coupe or convertible
body styles, but both come standard with their twin-turbocharged,
3.6-liter flat-six engines boosted to 444 (SAE) horsepower.
Formerly, the Porsche 911 Turbo could reach such power figures
only when equipped with the factory-installed X50 option
package. But the power boost is part of long list of standard
equipment for 2005 that includes Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brakes with yellow calipers, 18-inch Turbo II wheels with
GT Silver Metallic finish, a six-CD changer and special trim.

2005
Porsche Cayenne
The 2005 Porsche Cayenne is powered by a 3.2-liter V6 engine
that creates 247 (SAE) horsepower and propels the SUV from
a standing start to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per
hour) in only 9.1 seconds. Even with the optional six-speed
Tiptronic® S transmission, the Cayenne still sprints
to 62 mph in well under 10 seconds. Yet the 2005 Porsche
Cayenne retains all of the dynamic capabilities – on
road or off -- that have delighted Cayenne V8 owners, including
the capacity to tow as much as 7,700 pounds.
2005
Porsche Cayenne S
The 2005 Porsche Cayenne S draws its power from a 4.5-liter
Porsche V8 engine that produces 340 (SAE) horsepower that
flows through a standard six-speed Tiptronic S transmission
and propels the SUV to 62 mph in just 7.2 seconds. The 2005
Porsche Cayenne S has a top track speed of 150 mph (242 km/h).
Like all 2005 model year Porsche Cayenne models, the Cayenne
S now comes with a standard power-closing tailgate.
2005
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
The ultimate in sport utility vehicles, the 2005 Porsche
Cayenne Turbo uses a pair of turbochargers to boost the output
of its 4.5-liter V8 engine to 450 horsepower and 457 pound-feet
of torque, enough to rocket this Porsche to a sports car-like
0-62 mph run in just 5.6 seconds. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo
is as agile as it is fast and has been among the quickest
vehicles of any size or architecture in test laps around
Germany's famed Nürburgring racing circuit. Yet like
any Porsche Cayenne model, it can now be equipped with a
new Advanced Off road Technology Package for tackling the
most extreme of unpaved routes. This new package provides
special under-vehicle protective plates as well as a 100
percent differential lock on the rear axle.

2005
Porsche Carrera GT
One vehicle that even the 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo can't
beat in a race around the Nürburgring is the 2005 Porsche
Carrera GT, the ultimate in road-legal sports cars. Built
from ultra light but ultra strong carbon fiber, aluminum,
magnesium and high-strength steel, the 2005 Porsche Carrera
GT draws its energy from a mid-mounted, 5.7-liter V10 engine
that generates an astounding 605 (SAE) horsepower. Race-bred
suspension, ceramic brakes and even a ceramic composite clutch
help the driver maintain control of a powertrain that can
propel the Carrera GT to 62 mph in less than four seconds
on the way to a top track speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

Also available for 2005, in limited quantities, are the
911 Targa, 911 Carrera 4S Coupe, 911 Turbo Cabriolet, 911
GT3 and the 911 GT2. Information for these models can be
found in the 2004 Model Year Press
Kit section.
