Porsche Boxter S facelift revealed

hks786 · 11-19-2008, 05:03 PM

The entry-level 2.9-liter motor delivers 255 horsepower — an improvement of 10 horses over its predecessor. Meanwhile, the high-performance ‘S’ model has an improved 3.4-liter engine featuring Direct Fuel Injection. The new ‘S’ mill gains 15 horsepower — now 310 — while improving fuel economy.

The new PDK transmission, available with either Boxster model, promises improved acceleration and better fuel economy. First offered on the 911 range, the PDK results in a 26.4 mpg efficiency rating for the base model — an 11 percent improvement. Meanwhile, the Boxster S delivers 25.5 mpg — 16 percent better than the 2008 model.

Acceleration to 62 mph is said to take just 4.9 seconds for the PDK Boxster S equipped with Launch Control and the Sports Chrono Package.

It looks better, and the front needed this facelift. The taillights are meh. Oh, and hey, there's the now-prerequisite faux diffuser on the back.

I just can't forget the 996 and the previous gen boxster. They age too quickly without the round headlights.

yum from the front, same shit from the back.

Never really considered the boxster a true porsche, the boxster S however

Wow Porsche really outdid themselves here.....

AFAIK, the only job at Porsche where people who fewer hours than then designers are the 911 engineers.... The 911 engineers just focus on milking customers.
