Can't find any independent crash details on

Can anyone point me in direction of
independent crash survey details eg ENCAP
Keen on buying Boxster but need to be sure
it is safe
 
Not aware of any crash test report (yet) but you may be interested in the Porshe Boxster (987) Press Film on YouTube which includes 29 seconds of crash test footage (see timing from 2:36-3:05 minutes).

Enjoy.

SAFETY
Porsche doesn't offer up its cars for NCAP crash testing, but there's no doubt they are among the best engineered automobiles on the planet. The carmaker is serious about safety and both the Boxster and Cayman bodies-in-white feature advanced materials and deformation structures.

The Boxster gets fixed alloy roll-over hoops and a reinforced windscreen structure to provide additional rollover protection. Both cars feature Porsche's own side-impact protections system including side (thorax) and head bags.

Active safety includes an advanced stability control system dubbed PSM (Porsche Stability Management) and the 987s feature a new generation of antilock braking system with advanced braking including emergency 'pre-filling' and brake assist. Pre-filling prepares the brakes for an emergency application when it senses a "sudden release of the accelerator".
