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)

Porsche goes beyond the exterior and does some tweaking of the engine and improve the performance of the car’s mechanicals. The company designers also try to make this car lighter. With the weight decrease may come a smaller 4-cylinder turbocharged engine to zoom the car on the road.

The new engine may be on the 200 horsepower range which will translate to the Porsche meeting the new stricter guidelines with regard to emissions and fuel efficiency. Knowing Porsche, despite the downsized engine, the performance of the car will still be excellent.

Can’t wait? The 2009 Boxster S is available right now and EXTREMELY nice!
