Porsche Boxster Facelift Looks Showroom Ready in Spy Photos
The Porsche Boxster has shed the vehicle protection garb it wore the last time we spied it.
Caught on camera by AutoGuide.com‘s spy photographers, the 2016 Porsche Boxster is sporting a turbocharged engine as the German automaker enters a new era of four-cylinder powerplants. This is hardly the first time we’ve seen the Porsche Boxster’s facelift, but it is our best look yet, as the convertible is looking production and showroom ready with nothing concealing any of its details. The side air intakes on the Boxster have grown, which is expected, given the new turbocharged engine.

Both the Porsche Boxster and Cayman models will use a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine that will come standard with 240 hp. The Cayman S and Boxster S models will benefit from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 300 hp while the range-topping GTS models will output 370 hp.
Porsche could surprise by debuting the facelifted Boxster at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September, especially since it’s freely testing the model without any camouflage.
