New Details On next Porsche Boxster | Fastdrive Blog

If Car Magazine’s sources are to be believed, a better generation Porsche Boxster 981 would be a completely new vehicle.

The third generation Boxster is claimed to have a brand new cab-forward design which features new and exciting lines that absolutely set it besides the present model. The automobile will longer be a coupon 911 if you happen to can’t afford the total-fat model. It’ll gain its own identity. It would also grow in size by 60mm in wheelbase, and 37mm in length. However the roof might be shorter by 10mm and front overhang may be cut to boot by 25mm.

The new model can be lighter, not by much, just 15 kg, but together with other tweaks here and there like uprated multi-link suspension and dual-clutch gearbox should make it even better handling-wise.

According to the sources, Porsche could also be developing a brand new flat-four engine with a displacement of two.5-litre which with some help from a twin-turbo system makes 360bhp and 347lb ft. But that remains far away. It’s planned for 2015. Until then, the present range of two.7 and three.4 liter flat-six units will power the Boxster, although with deep refinements for better performance and fuel consumption.

Project 981: the next Boxster in detail

The 981 is not an evolution of the current model but an all-new vehicle. Its cab-forward design has much crisper and sportier proportions, but is still easily recognised as a Boxster. The new look is reflected by a shift in the Boxster's dimensions.

......................When do we see the new Boxster?

While the new 911 is expected to debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Show, the next Boxster is scheduled to be unveiled in Detroit in January 2012.
