The automotive circles always hunt for new cars being tested on the road, track, or as it is put on spotlight in car shows. Recently the next Porsche Boxster was spied while on the road.

When you look at the snaps there is no drastic change on the car’s exterior. We are expecting thought that the 12 year old design will be dressed up.

The front end of the car is like an exact picture of the current version of the Porsche Boxster. The spies can not say much about the heavily covered tail end but noticed the seemingly new roof canvass and body panel.

This new car may be unveiled during the 2011 auto show in Geneva among with other versions like the Boxster S and the Cayman with the hard top. That sets production of the new Boxster by 2012 in a Magna Steyr factory.

The spied pictures are of test mules. You can see the claddings on the body to hide some design features. (photos here)
