New Porsche Boxster (981) Leaks out on the web
Loosely translated via Google:

"The Porsche Boxster S makes 315 hp with 6-cylinder boxer engine, which is 5 hp more than before. The consumption is reduced by 15% to 8.0 liters of atypical sports car / 100km. The revised 7-speed PDK enables this partnership...The Manual Transmission features only a 6 gears. The Boxster S sprints in 5.0 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h. The Boxster with the base engine (2.7 boxer engine with direct injection for the first time and 265 hp) requires 5.7 seconds. Both engines are equipped with start-stop systems."

That´s for sure...they separated the boxster-front-end-look from 991´s face significantly...interesting strategy....makes sense to me....

Good scoop for sure. Inside has clean lines and some influence from the Carrera. Looks nice from 3/4 front view. I like the front bumper design and side air intakes. I'm mixed on the headlight design. The tail light cluster looks clean and modern. The edge on the rear decklid emphasizes the stance.

Looks great ! Much better than any boxster before for sure. I think the interior is even better than the 991.

I have been waiting to see this in person. May cannot get here soon enough. Huge fan of the exterior. Absolutely hate the interior.
