Never before in the history of the Porsche Boxster was a change of generation so comprehensive. Porsche has brought out a brand new generation of its entry-level Boxster convertible, one that’s lighter, more powerful, and more fuel-efficient than the model it replaces.
Once again both a Boxster and sportier Boxster S will be available. Porsche promises the cars are roughly 15 percent more fuel-efficient than previous models. To enhance driving dynamics yet further, Porsche offers the Sport Chrono Package as an optional extra, featuring dynamic transmission mounts for the first time. Also new in the Boxster is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear axle differential lock that varies the level of torque sent to each of the rear wheels.
Charismatic flat-six 'boxer' engines
The new generation Porsche roadster makes its debut in the classic Porsche pairing of Boxster and Boxster S. The new power unit fitted in the Porsche Boxster delivers 265 hp (195 kW) from a 2.7 litre displacement - 10 hp more than its larger capacity predecessor.
Porsche Intelligent Performance
Fuel consumption for the Porsche Boxster with PDK is 7.7 l/100 km (36.7 mpg imp), and 8.0 l/100 km (35.3 mpg imp) for the Boxster S. To enhance the driving dynamics further, the Sport Chrono Package option is offered on the Boxster, featuring Dynamic Transmission Mounts for the first time.
The new Porsche Boxster
The Boxster is priced from £37,589, and from £45,384 for the Boxster S.
The new Porsche Boxster models are expected in U.S. showrooms in early summer 2012. The basic list price will be $49,500 for the Boxster and $60,900 for the Boxster S, not including a $950 destination charge.
