PORSCHE’S ALL-NEW BOXSTER
- YES, IT IS NEW!
THE LAST TIME we saw the next generation Boxster, the headlamps were concealed by dummy units that looked similar to those of the current car. But upon closer inspection it’s possible to see new, more oval-shaped lights behind the thin disguise.
Our pictures show the car testing on the German Nürburgring – for the first time with the roof laid down. They also show that Porsche isn’t going to mess around too much with the Boxster’s styling. Other visual changes will include wider arches, larger side air-intakes and a flatter rear deck, while all versions of the car will have 19-inch wheels as standard.
Things are set to get better inside, too, thanks to a new luxury cabin. It will be roomier, and will have a more upmarket dash with a centre console multimedia system from the Cayenne. The current 2.7-litre engine will remain in base cars, but the flagship S will abandon the 3.2 in favour of a 270-HP-plus 3.4-litre machine.
