I parked next to another mid engined 2 seater cabrio today and thought that perhaps the Boxster is missing something...



Both are instantly recognisable, both have a racing pedigree,
Both attract attention, the lady behind the 488 is clearly interested!

Both are turbocharged, both weigh about 1400kg, both are roadsters.....
One is a 3.9L V8 pushing out 661 bhp, the other is a 2.5L Boxster 4 with 350bhp

Both are about the same age

The Porsche could be on a dealer's forecourt for about £50,000, the Ferrari for about £175,000.

But I am impressed that a Ferrari 488 owner would park in a supermarket carpark, well a Waitrose & John Lewis one.
Not exactly Aldi....

I parked next to it, and spent a while looking at it.

The car was clearly a daily drive, the interior was "lived in", like my Boxster S.
but is it really worth so much more?
What does it do that the Boxster doesn't do?

I begin to understand Howard's perpetual dilemma
