It's possible. They sure did build many in Finland, with some reportedly being built in Stuttgart. I think my previous 987 was from o'er dere in Finland.

Porsche’s Finnish success story: 227,890 Boxsters and Caymans

I wonder which plant has/had greater IMS success rates...?

Single row IMSB = -100 points.

What's your score now?

Oooooooooooo

You know this is why the 2000 year model boxster S definitely gets the most points right...particularly if you have something like a hard too or retrofitted glass rear window to fix the main downside of the earlier cars....

Also it's got a bigger bore motor than a carrera S...

Finnish S valve caps are green while German S caps are Black. All base model valve caps are black. That's why there's so much confusion!
