Our crafty spy photographer have managed to set lenses upon a completely undisguised 2012 Porsche Boxster S out and about in the light of day. With all of the vehicle's camouflage removed, we can clearly see the body lines of the new convertible. Though the familiar Porsche face hasn't gone anywhere, the side of the vehicle now wears a dramatic side strake and sizable air inlet positioned just forward of a set of equally bold wheel arches. Those openings are filled with massive, multi-spoke rollers. Toward the rear of the vehicle, we can clearly see a new integrated lip spoiler that spans ... Read More

First Drive: 2013 Porsche Boxster S [w/video] 1338392700

Review: 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder 1262357040

Boxster Spyder a lightweight, high-performance heavy-hitter Those health nuts are on to something. Lighter and more trim is better where agility, energy efficiency and athleticism are concerned-and it's much the same in the automotive world.
