2013 Porsche Boxer is revealed early
 

Whats your take on the new Boxer?

That's one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen.

Perhaps taking some styling cues from it's big brother?

Very nice. Looks like a 911 mixed with the 918

it looks amazing in silver, someone caught it a while ago. There were rumors of a turbo 4 back then but I guess that never happened :(

Bravo Porsche! Very good looking car. Can't wait to see the Cayman

I'm always a fan of the hard top over the convertible. The Cayman is one of the best looking cars on the road IMO, can't wait to see the new one.

And the Boxter was nothing like the prototypes they had on the road. If the Cayman is just a hardtop 2013 Boxter its going to look dead sexy.

Time to win the lotto.

I love it. I'm actually getting an R8 convertible feeling from it. I think it's the side intakes.

Is that the 2013 model or the one from 1999, I can't tell anymore? I keed I keed. Not bad. I like the Cayman better though.

FINALLY a noticeable change from the current gen. The current 2nd gen Cayman (a Boxster hardtop as mentioned) supposedly had completely new body panels all around compared to the previous 1st gen.

WHAT?

sexy sexy and more sexy. best looking Boxster ever (987 Spyder accepted)!!! not one for drop tops but i'd drop some $$$$$ on one of these QUICK. I can only imagine how good the second gen Cayman will look now.

Very nice. Probably the first Boxster I've said that about.

Fixed that for ya (see my above post). :thumbsup:

The 987C Cayman has only been around for ONE generation. The Boxster just now for three(986,987 and now 9Xx).

and from the Porsche press release for those wondering just how much they'll have to save up...

gotta love they're straight to the point not yanking your chain on pricing like someone else:bonk: :D

reminds me of the last MR2 model. not digging it.

It looks great, no surprise as its a porsche.

This center console looks like a real clusterfuck though:

Ya I've flown airplanes with less buttons than that lol!

Really? You seem to know more about Porsches than me but I SWEAR I saw Jeremy Clarkson do a comparo on the 1st gen and 2nd gen Caymans last night. He made it a point that all body panels were redone but the 2 Caymans looked strikingly similar. And the performance numbers were a smidgen better but essentially the same. What are those 9xx numbers? Maybe your definition of "generation" is different than mine.

Just looked it up on wikipedia: 2005 was 1st gen, 2009 was 2nd gen.

those numbers are the chassis code designations that separate one generation from another, kinda like how "AS1" is used to specify the FR-S/BRZ/86/GT86. another example would be the Mercedes Benz S-class; the current model is the W221 ('06-'12), the W220 ('99-'05).

nope. '05 was the release of the Cayman, ,09' was the mid life refresh.

Anyone want to photoshop a Cayman hardtop on that?

Easily one of the best looking cars on the road.

The all new 911 (991) is much sweeter.

But of course, cost more :P

somebody somewhere will soon. keep your eyes peeled.

+1 :happy0180:

First time I've seen a Boxster and have not been disgusted.

It is perfect in/out. But I don't like convertibles, so I look foward to the Cayman. When my AS1 becomes a racecar, I'll need some road car. I'd like something among these: BMW 2 Series Coupé F22, BMW M3 F80, Porsche Cayman 981, Nissan GT-R MY2013 or Lexus SC if it comes.

Glad the S doesn't yet have the 2.5l H4 Turbo with 360 PS. But who knows, it could maybe be a new Boxter Turbo, above the Boxter S like it is with the 911.

this is really the best looking boxer of all time and the exhast note is beautiful

One of the best looking cars so far of this year!

Yeah, I definitely see that too.

I wonder what ever became of that or if it's still to come?

I wish the boxster costs 60-70k here in Aus.... costs double if not more sigh :(

But it looks sweet as, maybe serve as my DD 10yrs later 2nd hand when the price drops enough LOL

Anybody know when the new Cayman will be out? I think it'll look a little bit like the Carrera GT based on how the new Boxster look. I've driven the Cayman R and it is awesome. I'm sure the new Cayman will be even better.

Can I get it in Ipanema Blue with yellow calipers?

nice...like a mini Carrera GT, I agree...the new 911 is even sweeter.

I like the car a lot. I remember reading as well about the turbo-4s, but I guess they never materialized. Porsche had 4 cylinders before 6, anyway.
