The new look Porsche Boxster was given a sneak preview this week ahead of the sports car’s official unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in March. After its debut at the motor show, Porsche say their new addition will go on sale in the UK on April 28^th with the base model Boxster possessing a starting price of £37,589 and the Boxster S offered for sale with a base price of £45,384.

Porsche believe that their new and improved version of the mid engine roadster is more efficient, more agile and faster than its predecessor, although the biggest change in the new Boxster is in its styling. The design team headed up by Michael Mauer are credited with creating the new design of the Boxster with its longer wheelbase and wider tracks which makes for a more spacious interior.

The aluminium chassis on the new Boxster means the sports car is lighter than previous models which will enable the car to offer better fuel consumption and also increased power and speed on the road.

In terms of its performance on the road, the new Porsche Boxster boasts a 0-62mph speed of 5.7 seconds while the Boxster S improves on that with a 0-62mph rate of just 5.0 seconds.

Both the Porsche Boxster and the Boxster S will hit UK showrooms from the end of April.
