2009 Porsche Boxster Revealed Live
Though the 2009 Porsche Boxster may appear to have received only a light visual refresh, limited to a few slightly tweaked lines and some LED lights from its big brother, the internals have received enough attention to launch the Boxster from hairdresser-chic to something the performance-minded could consider. The PDK double-clutch should provide a quick alternative for those unwilling or uninterested in doing the shifting themselves. Power also gets an upgrade to 255 and 310 HP in the base unit and the Boxster S, respectively. Perhaps most important of all, the new Porsche will likely have an optional limited slip differential for those that are inclined towards driving somewhere more challenging than the Palm Beach Mall parking lot.

2009 Porsche Boxster Gets New Transmission, Engine Upgrades
Porsche has dropped photos of the 2009 Porsche Boxster and the changes on the inside are thankfully more dramatic than the exceedingly minor facelift. The base Boxster now comes equipped with a 2.9-liter direct injection mill pumping out 255 hp, up 10 hp from the previous generation. In S-trim the 3.4-liter unit, now with direct fuel injection, is good for 310 hp. The biggest news may be the PDK double-clutch über gearbox which provides better fuel economy (north of 26 mpg) and quicker acceleration than the six-speed manual. Additionally, we hear that the Boxster will get a proper limited slip differential. Details about the vehicle in the press release below. More » -
