The second generation Porsche was launched in 2004 and become
available for model year 2005. The very face of the car
with its new headlight design, the silhouette of the Boxster with its
new, even more muscular line contours, the larger wheels, as well as
the rear end with its new, even more striking joints and seams all
look familiar and well-acquainted, but are nevertheless even clearer,
firmer and more functional in style than before.
Comparing to 2005 Boxster, the new model will feature an updated
front fascia and LED headlamps and also redesigned, and much rounder,
air intakes. Also there will be new ear bumper and completely new LED
taillights. These changes are also expected to appear in the next
Cayman coupe.
Led Lights are coming on the smaller porsche
As you already know in the 2007 Cayenne Porsche
unveiled a new technology called Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) which is
supposed to lower the fuel consumption of individual models by over
eight percent (NEDC). In real driving conditions, savings of up to 15
percent are possible. The same DFI technology will be used on its
entry-level roadster and coupe.

According to Porsche the DFI will increase the power on the new
Boxster with 13%, so if will be to believe that, the 2008 Porsche
will be powered by a Flat-6 engine delivering around 270 hp. This
will help the new Boxster to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds
and have a top speed of 165 mph.
The 2008 Boxster will feature new and larger wheels combined with
18-inch tyres, weight reduction on the various components as well as
enhanced torsional and flexural stiffness give the Boxster even more
sporting driving behaviour and larger safety reserves, with driving
comfort remaining unchanged.
The 2008 Porsche Boxster will be launched at this year's Frankfurt
Motor Show. |
