Looks better than the 986 and the 987...

it says 212 in the bottom right. I wonder if there are 200 pictures out there somewhere. Porsche should post all of them. I'm going to send them an email.

Yep. That proto type looks perfect. I have a 1/24th scale die-cast sitting on my desk right now. They made models and sold them through a company called MAISTO. They make many die-cast model toy cars. It even came with a nice stand that says PORSCHE BOXSTER. Both doors open, front trunk and the clamshel cover for the top, but not the rear trunk. Wheels and steering wheel also turns. The shape of the clamshel for the top cover is shaped like 2 cresent moons around the back of each seat. You can buy these models on e-bay.

No rollbar/windscreen.. Loved those 18" 3 piece speedline wheels though

Those wheels make it remind me of my car in a way

I took that pic and used the airbrush from MS paint to fix 2 things. the front bumper line, and the badge thing above the vent. I think it looks better without them. Tell me what you think, remember, I spent 10 seconds on the pic, lol.

I picked up a copy of this Brochure, going to have it framed.

p.s.
Check out the Navigation System from 15 years ago on the dash.

When the prototype was first introduced and Porsche began taking orders, a friend and I each dropped a deposit for a spot on the waiting list. When the production car was unveiled, we were both disappointed in the final design. I sold my place on the waiting list for a profit. My friend sold his car when it was delivered and bought something else. I still have the original brochure and some other promotional stuff in my collection.

Who would have guessed that 10 years later I would buy the same car and love the crap out of it?
