This Porsche Boxster Shooting Brake Isn't A Render
Remember that Boxster shooting brake project we were marvelling at a few months ago? It’s now finished, and lordy, is it a looker.
A collaboration between Van Thull Development and students of Fontys Hogeschool Eindhoven, the unique vehicle uses a 986 Boxster as a base. The choice was down to the affordability and availability of early Boxsters, and also the suitability of its convertible platform - starting with a Cayman would have given them more bodywork to hack away.
To avoid the expensive creation of myriad new parts, the team sourced existing components where possible. The windows are from a 996-generation 911, while the boot lid, believe it or not, is from a Peugeot. The front end is from a 997, and 991 elements were also included to make it look as fresh as possible.
We’re particularly fond of the view from the rear. Thanks to a low roofline, is looks wide and squat. We’re digging the Miami blue-like colour, too.
The best part is, this isn’t a one-off. Van Thull has mouldings for the roof, rear hatch, rear wings, door sills and rear bumper, and can convert a customer’s 986 Boxster if they like. Anyone fancy it?

Love it. Only thing in my opinion is it looks proportionally awkward. Very long nose and small backside. Much like me 😂
It’s a GT3 front bumper isn’t it? Perhaps it wouldn’t look so long with a regular 997 front end
this looks very clean and simple. Heck of a job!
It actually looks quite good from Porsche to see a car like this come from them :)
I don’t get why they would use a 997 GT3 front and back, 991.1 lights and everything based on a Cayman. Stick to 1 model/ era.
looks like the Ferrari FF and this car is fusion as 997 and 991 Generations
So it basically became the proper rival to the Z3M Coupe.
I find it weird that they have no photos of the actual boot
Bloody awesome idea, bee waiting for this since the first pictures came out. If I could get one I would 😂
Lovely Car color !!!
