The Porsche 981 refers to the third-generation models of the Boxster and Cayman series produced by Porsche. Unveiled in March 2012 at the Geneva Auto Show, sales began in the summer of the same year. The 981 model incorporates the new design language seen in the 911 (991) and 918 models, resulting in a more modern and dynamic appearance.
A major improvement in the 981 model is the revised engine and transmission specifications, providing enhanced performance and responsiveness. The chassis of the 981 has also undergone significant revisions, boasting a 40 percent increase in torsional rigidity. Additionally, the front and rear tracks are wider by 40mm and 18mm respectively, while the wheelbase has been extended by 60mm.
