should be congratulated for lowering the weight across the board for
the new 981 model. Even if they’re a bit shy about putting a number to
that weight loss. As we’ve previously reported, though, it’s around
15kg. Other changes include a longer wheelbase, wider track and shorter
overhangs. That’s right, this Boxster should be even more precise than
the old 987 model. Following the proven path the Boxster is available in
two models, a 2.7 litre flat six with 195kW, and the S model, featuring
a 3.4 litre flat six with 232kW.
If
you get the optional 7-speed PDK transmission you’ll reach 100km/h in
5.7 seconds in the entry level Boxster, while the S will do it in 5.0
seconds. The new sports car generation makes its debut in the classic
Porsche pairing of Boxster and Boxster S. Both models are powered by
flat-six engines with direct petrol injection, the efficiency of which
is further enhanced by electrical system recuperation, thermal
management and start/stop function. The base model’s new power unit
delivers 265 hp (195 kW) from a 2.7 litre displacement ten hp more than
its larger displacement predecessor.
