Here's another one. Spotted this baby near the IIT today morning. My first sighting of a Boxster

Is this the same TT from Loyola College? Or is it another hot red machine on the roads of Chennai?

For the first time, I can see why this was such a sensation. Good find Mahesh

That porsche boxster used to comes to my gym everyday. Anyways that was the first boxster to hit Tamilnadu and the owner of this car also owns a Mitsubushi FTO,Lx470 and a S-class.
And i also heard from him that he was very much interested to import a ferrari someday.

And yes this is the same audi tt. And there is only one red audi tt and it does come to loyola.
I have seen this car in personand was wondering whether the he upsized they tyres because they looked really fat, and doesnt look like it came with the tt. .

It's a later 986 Boxster! It's a Boxster 'S' that was produced only from the year '00-'02. When the Boxster production had commenced, there was no 'S' variant. There was only one engine option (2.5 liter, flat six) and then came the 3.2 liter, flat six 'S' in the year '00!

EDIT: This is the 2000 'S' variant! The face-lifted '02 variant had clear indicator lenses in the front head lights instead of amber!

Well maintained Poker, nevertheless!

Good evening, guys!

turbojc and jagxf were spot on. there is a new CL at the TransCar dealership. Looking forward to know whose garage it is going to be a part of. also its stablemates. There was a face-lifted S500 in the parking lot behind the showroom.

Saw a white Jag XF, a black BMW X5 and a silver-ish A6 today. The XF and A6 were TN redg and the X5 was KA redg. All of them were spotted around KK Nagar. No pics, sorry.

Does that TT have the 'Kit up' stickers ? It looks so, if so. What mod would have he done from there ?

Looks like this to me.

Thanks bivin, but why would anyone stick a fastfood joint logo on a sportscar ? Or does it belong to the TT guy ?
