On the CHP website, they make no mention of the boxster anywhere. Maybe its a one-off or a promotional vehicle?

it is definately a promotional vehicle.

that article is clearly fake, but the car is real. just like how colorado used an sti as a promotional vehicle, but was never used in actual police use.
