If the top won't close with the key turned to "on" or with car running and the parking brake engaged make sure the parking brake light is on. If it isn't your parking brake sensor is bad and you need to go to a shop to have it replaced. In the mean time try releasing and reengaging the parking brake a couple of times to see if you can get the sensor to trigger and the brake light to come on. If that works don't put the top down again until you get the sensor replaced. Or it might just need a new fuse.

What is top speed of Porsche boxter?

Well I love porsche in fact i am getting a porcshe boxter when I am 16 and I believe the max speed of a porsche boxter is 150-160 MPH range. My friend boosted the engine and got it to go 210 MPH. The reason the boxter can go 165 is because of its high horsepower engine called a 2.5-liter dual-overhead-cam 6-cylinder produced engine with 229 horsepower engine that has evolved threw different years now in 2011 it is about a 6 cylinder 3.45 engine.


Can you drive your new Porsche Boxter S with a convertible top through a touchless car wash?

Actually you can but it is not recommended in the owners manuel of the 986S. I would suggest looking in your owner manuel if you have one to see what it says. The chemicals will harm a plastic rear window but if it is a new Boxster with the glass window there shouldn't be a problem. Also, Porsche recommends that you only hand wash because convertible vehicles are never 100% water proof. No! The chemicals they use in the rinse are harmful to the paint and top.
