  • 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

    Porsche is going hybrid—with plug-in hybrid versions of all its major models, eventually. And yes, that means not just the upcoming 918 Spyder and the 2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, but also upcoming versions of the Cayenne, and even the 'sacred' mid- or rear-engine sports cars—the 911, Boxster, and Cayman. The Panamera S E-Hybrid, which Porsche says is the first luxury plug-in hybrid (other than the Fisker Karma) was first shown at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show and will go on sale toward the end of this year, with a sticker price of $99,975. That system can run the vehicle on...

    Jaguar Vs. Porsche Boxster And 911: 30 Days Of F-Type

    We're still eager to do a seat-to-seat, back-to-back comparison between the standard-bearing Porsche Boxster and the all-new 2014 Jaguar F-Type. While there's really no substitute for that time behind the wheel—especially when we're talking about sports cars—in the meantime we're taking...

    First Porsche Boxster Rolls Off The Line At Former Karmann Plant

    It's not widely known amongst the general public, but Porsche frequently contracts out its actual production. In the past, Porsche relied on Finnish independent vehicle manufacturer Valmet to build its Boxster and Cayman models, though for the latest generation Porsche decided to move production...

    The 2013 Porsche Boxster Honors Its Ancestors: Video

    We are the sum of our collected past experiences, and the very same thing can be said about cars, especially those with a heritage steeped in racing. The 2013 Porsche Boxster wouldn’t be the same car without the lessons learned from the 550 Spyder, the 908, the 914 and even the 911 and its...

  • 2013 Porsche Boxster S first drive photos

    With better looks, more power, better gas mileage, and improved handling, the 2013 Porsche Boxster is the best luxury roadster you can buy. Yep, I said it: don't bother with the BMW Z4 or the Mercedes-Benz SLK. This is the roadster you want. The last Boxster, the 986, was a bit rough around the edges, and if we're honest, a bit doughy-looking. It was noisy, the interior wasn't all that nice, and while it still handled brilliantly, the charms of the Z4 and SLK were enough to make it a three-horse race. With the 981 Boxster, Porsche has pulled ahead, and by more than a nose. Having just spent a...

    Porsche Explains The Spirit Of The Boxster: Video

    Every open-top Porsche model ever built, from the 1948 Porsche 356 Cabriolet to the newly-redesigned 2013 Porsche Boxster, has had a certain spirit about it. There have always been faster open-roof cars, and more luxurious open-roof cars, yet somehow none manage to deliver the essence of a Porsche...

    Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show and brought to the U.S. last week for the New York Auto Show, the all-new 2013 Porsche Boxster looks better, offers new and improved engines, and claims to be even more fuel efficient. We take a quick look at these changes from the site of its American debut. For...

    Volkswagen Plant To Start Building Porsches This Year

    Porsche will call on its Volkswagen parent should additional capacity be required to build its 2013 Boxster and soon-to-be launched 2013 Cayman. That additional capacity will come from Volkswagen’s plant in Osnabrueck, Germany, where more mundane models like the Golf Convertible are built. As...

    2013 Porsche Boxster S Sets 7:58 Nurburging Lap Time

    Restyled, redesigned, and thoroughly updated for the 2013 model year, the new Porsche Boxster is undoubtedly (to our eyes, anyway) the best yet. It's also the fastest yet, lapping the benchmark Nurburgring Nordschleife in just 7 minutes, 58 seconds, according to a photo from Porsche's official...

  • Porsche 550 Spyder

    As one of the great on-again, off-again projects of recent years at Porsche, the sub-Boxster roadster, referred to internally as the 550--after the historic 550 Spyder--has at times straddled the cusp of both reality and cancellation. In a way, it continues to--but we recently sat down with Matthias Mueller, Porsche's CEO, and he said it's definitely still in the works. In fact, says Mueller, Porsche held a focus group last month to see if the time is right for the brand to dip its toe into what it calls the A-segment roadster market. He didn't disclose the results of the clinic, but did...

    The 2012 Geneva Motor Show is well underway even though it's still early morning in the States, and one of the highlights thus far--aside from the odd one-off Lamborghini--is the official auto show unveiling of the 2013 Porsche Boxster. With a much cleaner, more powerful look than its predecessor...

    The 2013 Boxster just made its way into the public eye a little over a week ago, but at the time, it came with just one shot of its interior. Today, we have a nice new selection of more detailed shots--and we have to admit, the new Boxster looks sharp inside as well as out. We were already pretty...

    2013 Porsche Boxster Preview

    Porsche has brought out a brand new generation of its entry-level Boxster convertible, one that’s lighter, more powerful, and more fuel-efficient than the model it replaces. It’s also a whole lot sexier too, thanks to a design incorporating shorter overhangs, a wider track, and...

    Porsche Unveils Boxster E Electric Prototype

Today the automaker has revealed the first of its...

  • 2011 Porsche Boxster S Black Edition

    Do you like the idea of a Black Edition Porsche convertible, but don't have the $91,300 entry price for the 911 Black Edition cabriolet? Then how does $65,200 sound for the same treatment on a Boxster S? Unlike the 911 Black Editions, the Boxster S Black Edition gets a small performance boost, with 10 additional horsepower available from the 3.4-liter flat six. Otherwise, it's mostly the same story as the 911 Black Editions. The Boxster S Black Edition comes only in solid black, with the monochrome treatment extending to the wheels, the covers for the rollbars, side air intake grilles, and...

The latest project is based...

    Influential buyer guide Consumer Reports has come out with its annual new car reliability ratings and surprisingly it’s the mainstream brands that dominate and not the luxury makes.
