My2012 Porsche Boxster: advances on new generation

The new generation Porsche Boxster, and the third will have a design more personal and more differentiated than that of the 911 and will also be equipped with 4-cylinder boxer engine and a raft of measures aimed at enhancing their already excellent road holding. E 'reveals what Car referring to sources inside the German house.

The new spider of the filly, Series 981, however, share some chassis parts and components with the "Carrera". The Boxster Mk3 is not an evolution of the current model but a completely new car: its design is more sporty and aggressive than the current while maintaining a recognizable identity.

If the overall length will grow by 37 mm, the pitch should rise even to 60 mm. Cosp The car will be lower than 10 mm, while the front overhang will be reduced by 25 mm to the benefit of legroom, +18 mm. The decision to increase in a substantial way the pitch is derived from the will of the manufacturer in Zuffenhausen to increase the comfort of the car and its stability when changing direction.

The fund suspension, which will be structured around a McPherson front and multilink rear, was engineered from scratch to ensure better handling and reduced noise. The braking system will be provided instead of disks with a diameter of 330 mm, derived from the new Carrera 2 and accompanied by an electric parking brake.

Despite the increase in size and amenities of the vehicle's total weight will decrease by 15 kg: 1320 kg for the "smooth" and 1340 for S. There will be adjustable suspension (PASM) and the PVT system torque vectoring to increase the dynamic qualities, but also devices such as radar cruise control for the driver who does not mind the comfort.

But now we come to one of the most anticipated topics, those relating to the engines. The entry-level version, the 2.7 should provide a power close to 270 hp with 280 Nm of torque, while the S version with the 3.4 will provide about 320 hp and 360 Nm in conjunction with the PDK dual-clutch gearbox, the model will be less stringent capable of covering the 0-100 km / h in 5.7 seconds to go up beyond 260 km / h.

More handsome with a S 0-100 km / h in 4.9 devoured and a top speed of 274 km / h.
