    Looks awesome. Is it for real or a photoshopped version?

    Photoshopped but pretty near to the real thing. The rear is a little bit different, I guess the designer saw too many 911 in his life.

    So you're saying you actually KNOW what the boxster coupe looks like Christian?

    Re: new boxster coupè

    Are the turn signals really embedded in the front grill like that? That's the only part of the design that seems odd.

    Now that is a Boxster I'd buy! It looks great. Hatch back would be very handy. The car needs at least 300HP to really put it over the top.

    I have to disappoint you, it seems that the rumored RS/Turbo/CS version of the Boxster is off the production planning list. Expect around 15-20 HP power increase on all Boxster models, nothing more.

    Re: new boxster coupè

    Sorry to hear that RC. I was looking forward to the CS version.

    However, if you want a twin turbo, there are several tuners who have done them and are refining now. Cooling is the major issue (of course).

    In fact Roock is working on one also. Roock has already delivered a 3.6L Boxster here in the US at 335-340hp. Frankly, I'd rather have the NA version if it is not coming from the factory. Similarly, I'd probably take a GT3 now over a 996 Turbo.

    The two rear pictures look awesome, I hope it looks like that.....but, I don't like the front side pic, it looks too MR2'ish.

    Too MR2'ish? Hmm, the Toyota MR2 I know doesn't even look close to it.

    Pics of the front look "OK", the rear is nothing new. I am sure once the actual thing gets here it will look better than the CGI pics.

    I try to say it with a few words: it doesn't look like a 911.

    RC, you can get off of your pedistal with your "holier than thou" approach. I was just expressing an opinion. Yes, the Porsche pic doesn't look like the whole MR2. I was talking about the side shot, mainly from the side mirror area past the vent/rear quarter panel. It reminds ME of the MR2's from the early 90's.

    I agree that it does look like the mid 90s MR2. I thought the same upon first seeing the initial photos.

    I guess I'm blind because I don't see any similarity with the MR2. Well, my sniper eye-sight of 175% vision sharpness doesn't help much, ehhh?

    The Porsche shares no similar lines to the MR2. I think to say that the Boxster Coupe looks similar to an older car is an insult to the design and engineer team at Weissach.

    Re: new boxster coupè

    Hey RC, Porsche Cars North America says in a post on their website this morning that this car is pure speculation and do not take deposits on this car. They said they received a call from Germany who said that Auto Bild was making up the pictures. Either you have missed the mark or you hit a nerve! What do you think?
