Boxster Coupe Pics

[hobo]

Just found these, although not official I suspect they are not far off.

Assuming what I have read is correct, and that the Coupe will be cheaper than the convertible, it suspect they will sell like hot cakes.

Wonder what power they will churn out ? Can't be much otherwise will pinch sales from big brother.

I think there's something wrong with the pictures. I cannot open them...

That the ones. I couldn't find them when I looked for them again, hence why I had to replace them with the B&W's.

Cheers.

I actually think that looks rather cool!!

Shame it won't be available with big power though...

I like it a lot....from the rear 3/4 angle there is a hint of the 350z to me...it should steal some US sales away from the Infiniti.

If only they could make a proper RS version with the lump out of the GT3RS for less than £60k..i would happily wait in line to place my deposit

coo. looks more muscular than a 911! (makes a change!)

I think it looks quality - shame there are no rear seats tho (its amazing how much I use mine even as a weekend car)

I have never been a fan of the boxster but this coupe looks a better balanced design (I don't like cabs).

It's not exactly ground braking but I like it.

Nice looking car...I'll have to get one in about 20 years after depreciation has done it's thing It would look better with the C GT front lights, but I can't see them being brave enough for that.

Hmmm...entry level Porsche, better balanced than 911, practical rear hatch with plenty of boot space...944 deja vu? I wouldn't rule out a turbo version at some point either.

The rear view looks pretty purposeful to me. Can't see them dropping a turbo lump into it though - 997 sales would plummet.

Presumably due to the tailgate there will be no raising spoiler on the back (?) - are the slats there for cosmetic purpuses only?

A couple of 'pictures' have shown a raising spoiler so not sure about this. Would be cool if it had.

the raising spoiler is the body panel between the reds of the rear indicators

isn't hte coupe going to be 300bhp (ie more than the 987) - with that power and a bit less weight it would worry a 997 - and I prefer the styling / hatchback rear
