LOL: Porsche Boxster Spyder Facelift Photographed by Man in the Trunk of a BMW ... - autoevolution
The Boxster is not a facelift model, just like reader Timo says. Porsche is going all-out with development testing of the 911, Boxster and Cayman models at the Nurburgring. That could explain why this particular Boxster Spyder is being photographed. The Bavarian's mightiest 2 Series is considered by many to be a direct rival for the Cayman, the Boxster's twin brother. However, Porsche might be calling it quits on the power war. Recent reports suggest all the Boxster and Cayman engines will be replaced by 2-liter turbocharged ones. Both entry-level models will have a 240 horsepower output, which is a substantial decrease from today’s 265 hp Boxster and 275 hp Cayman. We believe the Boxster Spyder and GTS models will offer 370 hp, which is a decent number. But when you pay €80,000 for a new Porsche, torque and acceleration are also very important. Cosmetic changes for the Boxster Spyder are quite small, which is to be expected considering it's a brand new car. Source: www.autoevolution.com
