Next Generation Boxster spied with Next 911 (Details) 
From WCF:
"Here's a set of spy shots of the upcoming 2012 Porsche Boxster doing some winter testing in northern Sweden next to the next-generation Porsche 911.
The next-generation Boxster, known internally at Porsche as the 981, was rather showy on this test run, revealing its new LED taillights - a triangular design like on the next 911.
The next Boxster may come with a new four-cylinder engine that Porsche is developing, as we reported earlier this week. Porsche's outgoing head of research and development, Wolfgang Durheimer, confirmed that the automaker was developing a 2.5 liter power plant that could possible be seen in the 2012 Boxster and Cayman models.
That 2.5 liter could have an output of up to 360 bhp (268 kW / 365 PS) in a turbocharged configuration.

I saw 3 of these prototypes cruise by when I was in Vegas in September. I was too late getting my camera out unfortunately. They were fully camo'd out but the shape was definitely distinguishable as a next gen Boxster.
