Today Porsche revealed their new-generation Boxster and Cayman models at a press conference during the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new Boxster and Cayman are now more fuel efficient and aesthetically more refined than all previous models. Both have added new standard and optional features.
“We wanted to celebrate their worldwide premiere here in Los Angeles since it is, by far, the city with the highest population of Boxsters and Caymans anywhere,” said Porsche CEO Detlev von Platen.
“The new base engine in these models is a 2.9 liter flat six cylinder that develops 255 hp in the Boxster and 265 hp in the Cayman, representing an increase in power of 10 hp and 20 hp, respectively, over the preceding models. The 3.4 liter power unit in the S versions, which benefits from Porsche’s Direct Fuel Injection (DFI), now delivers 310 hp in the Boxster S and 320 hp in the Cayman S.”
The new models will be available for order from March 2009.
