New 2012 Porsche Boxster
New 2012 Porsche Boxster - The new model, generation three Porsche Boxster. New Porsche Boxster is latest car of 2012. We promised you at least one deeply distracting new car a week this year in our new magazine, and by our counting, after the show in Detroit we’re already well ahead of schedule. Porsche is launching a brand new Boxster that will go on sale in the UK this April priced from £37,589.
Porsche is telling us this – and this only – about Boxster 3.0. One, it’s lighter, bigger, and comes with a choice of smaller 2.7-litre (265bhp) and same size 3.4-litre (315bhp) flat six engines slung out behind the driver but in front of the driven wheels. Two, that it’s up to 15 per cent less thirsty. Three, and a surprising one this: it will cost £37,589 and £45,384 for the ‘S’ when it goes on sale in the UK on 28 April. That’s just over a grand and just over £1500 more than the outgoing Boxster (or generation 2.2.1, if you are interested in keeping the software metaphor going)
