Our spy photographers have once again spotted the 2012 Porsche Boxster, with the latest images giving us the best look yet at the upcoming drop top. The Boxster has dropped some camouflage and also added some real body parts — even if the rear lights are still fake.
Although it might look like the current model at first sight, upon closer inspection, one can see that every panel – and the canvas top – are all new. The new model will also be significantly lighter than the current car, with the promise that the next Boxster will be the “most economical Porsche ever.”
We don’t have confirmation on powerplant information yet, but we’re counting on both “Boxster” and “Boxster S” offerings. However, early reports suggest the Boxster will make the switch to a four-cylinder engine with forced induction a distinct possibility. We also expect the current 2.9-liter flat-six with 255 horsepower, and the 3.4-liter direct-injected flat-six to be carried over, albeit most likely after minor performance tweaks for a few more ponies.
