At SEMA this year ROUSH introduced the Roadster, a head-turning droptop ‘Stang that is now available through authorized retailers. If you want one of the two-tone beauties, you’d better get to it, because ROUSH is only building 100 of ‘em, and Jack sure sounds like he’s going to keep one for himself (see the attached press release). That still leaves 99 cars. The car’s two-tone finish features black on top and Torch Red, Redfire, Vista Blue, Silver or Grabber Orange on the lower portion. A pinstripe separates the colors, and the result is very, very good-looking.

All cars also feature a Roush light bar, lowered suspension, and 20″ wheels. Buyers can give their Roadsters performance to match their appearance by selecting the optional ROUSHcharger upgrade, which bestows the 4.6L V8 with 415-horsepower when mated to a 5-speed manual. Further augmentation in the form of custom interior bits, a short-throw shifter and more can be added to further personalize each car to the owner’s tastes.

To the lucky few who’ll park one of these sleds in their garage, know that we’re painting ourselves a color that’s not available for the cars themselves: Envy Green.

Check out the full press release after the jump, and feast your eyes on the Roadster in our gallery.

How do you make the Boxster better? First, make sure there’s an “S” badge on the boot and second, let Stuttgart’s finest loose with some GT3 RS orange, acres of Alcantara and some time in the wind tunnel.

The result was displayed across the street from the Javits Center in New York City, but for some reason, we missed its atomic orange hue from a distance.

Regardless, the people at Porsche decided to tweak the Boxster in all the right places, beginning with the exterior. The aforementioned paint job is complemented by a set of black wheels with a polished lip, along with blacked-out wing mirrors and air intakes. The SportDesign package adds an integrated rear diffuser, front lip spoiler and the automatically deploying aerofoil to reduce lift and look trick. The only significant piece of go-fast goodness is the custom exhaust that sports a duo of “unique” tips.

On the inside, occupants are greeted with Alcantara seat inserts, while the driver gets to engage both a steering wheel and a park brake lever swathed in the sexy suede-like material. The exterior’s color finds its way inside, lining the dash-mounted cup holder’s cover, the door lever recesses and the layout of the shift pattern on the gear lever.

While this is all well and good, what does it portend for the future? Expected a limited edition Boxster at your local Porsche dealers this summer.
