2013 Porsche Boxster S

Information Specification Image Review 2013 Porsche Boxster S
These illustrations provide the clearest picture yet of the totally updated 2013 Porsche Boxster S, which is set to go on sale this spring. As we’ve seen in previous spy photos, the exterior is sharper than before, with stronger lines and fewer curves. The side air intakes are larger and more pronounced on this new model.

Porsche has moved the side mirrors from the A-pillars to the doors, and added a crease to the rear fenders. The front air intakes are also bigger and more aggressive, as clearly shown in these illustrations of a bright red Boxster S.

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 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, while the Boxster S will perform the same function in 4.7 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 cockpit 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.

This smaller and lighter 4-cylinder should reduce overall curb weight, and give the already dynamically brilliant Boxster even better handling. As an added bonus, the 4-cylinder is also likely to drink less fuel than the outgoing sixes. A 2011 Boxster in standard trim currently offers EPA figures of 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway. Porsche will also upgrade the 2-seat cockpit with higher quality materials.

Boxster production is slated to move to Austria, when Magna Steyr takes over the contract to build the mid-engine roadster from the Finnish firm Valmet. Expect the 2013 Porsche Boxster to make its official debut at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show. source:roadandtrack.com,insideline.com
