Porsche has pulled the wraps off its
all-new Boxster. Now in its third generation, the model has enjoyed its most
significant design development too, with shorter front and rear overhangs,
bigger wheels and more sculpted side styling injecting some drama into the
looks. It’s still recognisably Porsche’s baby roadster, just a leaner, fitter
version.
Unsurprisingly, the rest of the headlines fall to increased efficiency and better performance. It’s considerably lighter, for starters (though Porsche is yet to announce how much has been shaved from the current, 1.3-ton car), and there’s a pair of new flat-six engines, both equipped with direct injection and stop/start technology.
The entry-level Boxster gets a 2.7-litre unit, smaller than the 2.9 it replaces but boasting a quicker 5.7sec 0-100km sprint.
