Insideline
The redesigned 2013 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S go on sale in Europe in mid-April, with new sheet metal and more powerful engines. Prices in Germany start at $61,335 for the Boxster and $75,100 for the Boxster S, including 19 percent VAT.
Porsche said the third-generation models will be powered by direct-injection flat-6 engines that can be coupled with either a standard six-speed manual gearbox or the PDK seven-speed double-clutch gearbox.
The standard 2013 Boxster gets a 2.7-liter flat-6 to replace the previous 2.9-liter unit, with output rising from 255 to 261 horsepower. Output on the 3.4-liter six in the Boxster S is nudged slightly from 310 to 311 hp. Porsche says the standard Boxster will accelerate from zero to 60 in less than 5.7 seconds, while the Boxster S will perform the same function in less than 5.0 seconds. The optional Sport Chrono package provides even better performance and driving dynamics.
A start-stop system and other tweaks also mean the engines will deliver up to 15 percent better fuel economy.
The 2013 Boxster gets new sheet metal, a new power-operated top that stows neatly behind the seats and a revised ****pit with more space for driver and passenger.
The chassis has been redesigned, and the car features lower weight, a longer wheelbase, wider track and larger wheels, as well as a new electromechanical power steering system.
