Second-generation Porsche Boxster, first official look

If you’re looking for revolutionary styling changes, don’t look to Porsche. Zuffenhausen’s tradition of cautious evolution is clear in the new Boxster, shown in these first official photos. Contrary to earlier reports (AW, July 5), the second-generation of the mid-engined roadster will make its world debut in a few weeks alongside the all-new 911 at the Paris motor show. North American sales start Jan. 15, followed by the Boxster coupe’s debut later in 2005. Starting prices are $44,595 for the Boxster, $53,895 for the S.

Despite its familiar appearance, Porsche says up to 80 percent of the ’05 Boxster’s components are heavily revised or replaced, although company officials admit many of the car’s crucial hard points have been carried over from the first-generation model launched in 1996. Two models will be offered: a base Boxster running a 2.7-liter 240-hp version of the German carmaker’s venerable flat-six engine linked to a five-speed manual, and a distinctly sportier Boxster S with a 3.2-liter 280-hp powerplant and six-speed manual gearbox. The five-speed Tiptronic is carried over.

Some of the changes: larger front air ducts, more rounded leading hood corners, and the really big one—oval headlights that replace the familiar teardrop-shaped units to provide the new car with its own identity, one Porsche hopes will finally distinguish the Boxster appearance from the 911. Elsewhere, the wheel arches protrude more, and taillights are more angular and wrap farther into the bodywork. Inside, look for a new three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a revised instrument binnacle with black-faced dials in the Boxster and white-faced dials in the Boxster S, a Cayenne-influenced center console with a color information screen, and redesigned seats.
