The temperature is exactly 104.2 degrees, always*!

*Ya see, that's the perfect serving temperature for Bratwurst, Wieners, & Kassler. Originally the Boxster was designed for transporting such goods to the Oktoberfests that would last year round. Keeping the food warm and having it arrive quickly was of the utmost importance. It should also be noted that shipping in small quantities is essential to keeping a unique flavor. That's why the rear trunks are so small! Sometimes in Germany you can see drivers driving with an ovenmit on their right hand so they can jump out of the car and run to the trunk to get the goodness out in a timely -and heated, fashion. Because they wore an ovenmit while they drove, it only made sense to put the ignition switch on the left side (because as I'm SURE you have experienced, it's hard to start a car while wearing an ovenmit).

One more sidenote, "ster" is German slang for "food," and box means box. So the literal translation of BOXSTER is actually box of food, or "food box."

I think this should adaquately answer all your queries.
