The Porsche Boxster only recently received a hot, special edition model in the form of the Boxster Spyder, but apparently, Porsche isn’t quite finished with releasing special versions of its entry-level roadster. Today, the automaker announced that it will offer a Black Edition version of the Boxster.

The name pretty much gives away this car’s main features, and those are its black-on-black color scheme. The body is coated in a glossy black hue, while Porsche went to task slathering black leather inside the cabin.

Other standard features on the Boxster Black Edition that set it apart from the crowd include standard Porsche Communication Management with a navigation module and mobile phone prep, front and rear Park Assist , auto-dimming rearview and side-view mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, cruise, a Sport Design steering wheel,20-inch Carrera wheels, and bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System.

Beyond the black leather interior, the inside of the Boxster Black Edition features an embossed Porsche crest on each seat, two-zone climate control, “Black Edition” doorsill plates, heated seats, and the Sound Package Plus, which includes a 295-watt, nine-speaker audio system.

The Boxster’s mid-mounted engine will remain the standard 2.7-liter flat-six engine that delivers 265 horsepower. This engine sprints the Boxster to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds with the six-speed manual transmission and as few as 5.2 seconds with the PDK in Sport+ mode.

The Boxster Black Edition is available for order now in Ireland, the UK, and the U.S., but it won’t start making its way into garages in the U.S. until July 2015. Pricing in the U.S. starts at $59,100, while the UK and Ireland will start from £46,164
