Porsche Shows Off The Unique Boxster-based Camera Car Created By Its Apprentices

Porsche shows off the unique Boxster-based camera car created by team of nine apprentices.

Created in 2017 when the previous ‘buggy’, an older Porsche Boxster, could no longer keep pace with current models.

To create this highly functional camera car, the team removed the soft-top roof and installed a robust roll bar.

To ensure the photographer’s safety, both luggage compartments were padded and fitted with harness system.

Steel tube mounts were also added to the front, rear, and sides for versatile camera positioning.

Stuttgart-based German high-performance sports car maker, Porsche, has showed off the unique 718 Boxster S-based ‘camera car’ created by nine apprentices from Porsche Leipzig GmbH as part of their second-year training project.

First shown to the public late in October, the camera car was created in 2017 when the previous ‘buggy’, an older Porsche Boxster, could no longer keep pace with current models.

To create this highly functional camera car finished in matte black, the team of nine apprentices, guided by training supervisor Carsten Pohle, removed the soft-top roof and installed a robust roll bar.

Upgrade inside includes internal wiring which allows direct connection between camera and laptop, plus an inverter which supplies power to operate and recharge all technical equipment.

Since its creation, the converted Boxster has been used for shoots on the Leipzig track, including on several shoots for German media company, Motor Presse (Motor Press) Stuttgart.

The camera Boxster has also been used to film motorsport legend Walter Röhrl while its most recent deployment was at the Tutto Bene Hillclimb near Lake Maggiore in Italy, which takes participants along an 8 km stretch with 65 thrilling turns.
