Porsche Boxster most powerfull car from porsche 2013

The Boxster, Porsche's entry-level model, enjoys a strong reputation among sports-car enthusiasts (this publication’s editors certainly included). Will you recognize the third-generation Boxster at first glance? The wheelbase is longer, and this Boxster has a wider track and bigger wheels. Porsche also switched to electromechanical power steering, just as it did with the latest 911; the larger Porsche sports car’s steering preserved most of the precision but lost a bit of feedback in the digitizing.

Porsche will continue to offer the base Boxster, now with 265 hp (up 10), and a Boxster S with 315 hp (up 5). The entry-level Boxster gets an entirely new 2.7-liter flat-six engine, which is now based on the 3.4-liter engine of the Boxster S (and the new 911). Prices rise only slightly: the Boxster is up $1400 to $50,450, while the Boxster S will retail for $61,850, a $2300 increase over the 2012 model
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.

Once again both a Boxster and sportier Boxster S will be available. Porsche promises the cars are roughly 15 percent more fuel-efficient than previous models. To enhance driving dynamics yet further, Porsche offers the Sport Chrono Package as an optional extra, featuring dynamic transmission mounts for the first time. Also new in the Boxster is Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear axle differential lock that varies the level of torque sent to each of the rear wheels.


The standard 2013 Boxster gets a 2.7-liter flat-6 to replace the previous 2.9-liter unit, with output rising from 255 to 261 horsepower. Output on the 3.4-liter six in the Boxster S is nudged slightly from 310 to 311 hp. Porsche says the standard Boxster will accelerate from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, while the Boxster S will perform the same function in 4.7 seconds. When it debuted in the late '90s, the Porsche Boxster ushered in an era of the more affordable Porsche convertible.
