2012 Porsche Boxster

Our spy photographers have once again, the Porsche Boxster 2012, with the last images that gives us the best look yet at the top to come down. The Boxster has relinquished some of camouflage and also adds some real body parts - even the rear lights are alwa.

Although it may seem at first glance, the current model, a closer examination, you may notice that each dish - and Top Canvas - are all new. The new model is also much lighter than the current car, a promise that the next Boxster is the "most economical Porsche ever."

We have no confirmed details yet engine but we expect both "Boxster" and "Boxster S" offers. But early reports suggest Boxster will make the transition 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 3.4-liter direct-injection flat-six, which will be argued, however, most likely after the minor performance tweaks to a couple of ponies .

Together with the motors, which should be carried over from the previous model, expect a short distance from the six-speed manual and Porsche seven-speed dual-clutch PDK Posted to move.

This next-generation Boxster, the most likely to wear a name 2012 model year is scheduled to be launched at the Motor Show Geneva 2011.

Athletic Beauty: TechArt Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster (987)

The Athletic beauty: The TechArt Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster of the 987 model range doesn't only offer spectacular design but also extra driving fun and agility. After the huge success of the Widebody concept for the first Boxster generation, TechArt Automobildesign ( www.techart.de ) developed a wide body version for the current version of the roadster.

With the add-on fender flarings on front and rear axle the TechArt Widebody is eight centimeters wider than the standard car. The front extensions don't only provide extra room inside the wheel houses but also improve the deventilation of the heated up air with their integrated wheel-house ventilation. The rear flarings are equipped with largely dimensioned air ducts to bring fresh air to the centrally placed engine.

Apart from spectacular, sporty design the TechArt designers of course paid attention to optimal aerodynamic efficiency. The TechArt front spoiler bumper reduces the lift `t the front axle and improves the cooling of the front brakes with large air ducts. The TechArt rear apron with integrated diffuser rounds out the conversion.

Extremely broad wheels and tires make the TechArt Widebody concept for the Boxster complete: Specially for this wide body version they developed custom-made versions of the one-piece TechArt Formula five spoke wheel. The front axle is equipped with wheels in size 8.5Jx20, the rear axle is equipped with 11Jx20 wheels.

TechArt Automobildesign recommends ContiSportContact 2 high performance tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 front and 305/25 ZR 20 rear for the Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster. The height-adjustable TechArt sport suspension is specially set-up for these ultra-wide wheels and tires and the wider track of the car. The coil-over suspension doesn't only provide an individual damping of the roadster but also lowers the two-seater car by some 25 millimeters. Boxster models with PASM system can be updated with the sporty set up TechArt coil over sport suspension.

TechArt also offers engine tuning for the Widebody. The two watercooled six-cylinder boxer engines can be upgraded with the TechArt power kits. They each consist of a sport air filter and newly programmed engine electronics. The result: 15 hp / 11 kW extra power and optimized road performance.
