The 2013 Porsche Boxster has been revealed, and the new entry level Porsche will have better looks, better performance and better fuel economy than the current generation. The new Boxster will use swoopier body styling than the current model, which could be interpreted as chasing the awful flame-surfacing trend, but because it looks good, it’s actually a good thing on the Porsche.
The 2013 Porsche Boxster will come with two engine choices, according to Autoblog. The base engine will be a 2.7-liter flat-six that makes 265-hp, while the Boxster S will have a 3.4-liter flat-six with 315-hp. That’s 10 more horsepower for the base 2013 Boxster and five more for the Boxster S over the current model. Porsche claims that the 2013 Boxster S will do 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. The base Boxster will get to 60 in 5.4 seconds.
It’s been speculated that the more stringent corporate fuel economy minimums, which mandate that a manufacturer’s entire fleet needs to meet an average number, could kill or neuter sports car exclusive carmakers like Porsche. How the brand would cope with the need to increase fuel economy dramatically was a big question, and it looks like Porsche is not backing down from the challenge and releasing abominable game-the-system fuel sippers like the Aston Martin Cygnet. Instead, Porsche is following the spirit of the law and making the cars people might actually want to buy more fuel efficient. The Boxster will use an all aluminum body and has added direct injection and start-stop functionality to the engines in order to increase fuel economy.
