The next generation Porsche Boxster was caught again during some tests conducted by Germans. The new German model will have a new design and better performances.

The next generation Porsche Boxter was caught again during some testes conducted by the engineers of the Stuttgart automaker on the streets in Germany. This time, the new test mule, was wearing even less camo, pointing that the car’s development is getting closer to an end.

The new spy-shots show us how the new 2012 Boxster will have some major changes both in design and dimensions. The body was changed, a thing that gives the German model a really sporty silhouette. The 2012 Porsche Boxster will be built on the platform of the Volkswagen BlueSport concept and will be longer than the current Boxster. The enlarged dimensions of the Boxster mean more room for the passengers, but also better stability at high speeds.

The most important change the Stuttgart automaker’s model suffered was under the hood. The German engineers will prepare for the 2012 Boxster a smaller engine, that would lead to lower fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. Hans-Jurgen Wohler, the one in charge with the development of the new Boxster, said that Porsche will use three and four-cylinder engines that will develop powers between 180 and 200 HP.

The Stuttgart automaker will equip the 2012 Porsche Boxter with a double-clutch PDK gearbox, and with a manual transmission with six gears. The new Porsche Boxster is expected to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, next year.
