Photos- New 981 Boxster vs 987 Cayman

The front end of the new Boxster has great influence from the Carrera GT

 

The back end in that last picture is having some influence.

 

If you sinch down the lace in that rear end just a tad, you might find it even improves handling?

 

How big are your rims, 14"? Haha, actually I like your rims, I'm making fun of the monstracity 20" on the new car, which look nice too, but I think rims are getting a little too big.

 

not a fan of the rear spoiler going through the taillights, but otherwise I love the new Boxster. great looking car.

nice ass shot too

 

I like the 987 Cayman, but I really like the direction Porsche took with the new Boxster.

 

Speaking as a 987 owner, I do like the new car although I wish they had left it the same size. The more steeply raked windshield is a big improvement and the upturned butt as opposed to the old droopy butt is a plus as well.

hey, let's drive our prototype down Las Vegas Blvd!

 

I saw it happen more than once when I lived in Vegas. I also saw several camo'ed cars on the highways outside of town, but still in very high traffic areas.

I see it all over west LA/Santa Monica as well (and I saw a prototype of the current ML in the Nevada desert a few years ago).

hiding in plain sight....or wanting people to snap pics and put up teasers on Jalopnik....?

... Oh hell .... look at that Gucci hand bag .... lol

 

Looks great, now all we need is a Gt3 motor instead of the weak limped stuff porche will saddle this car with to keep the 991 nee 928 sales premium.

 

I bought one of the launch cars a little over a month ago. The new 981 is fantastic. Porsche has done an excellent job on this car.

 

Would love to see som pics if you have any available!

 

Here is a rendering of the new Cayman I just found on Facebook. I'm in love.

If this is what the new one actually ends up looking like (it most likely will, probably with some small changes), it'll be the best looking car in the Porsche lineup.

As much as I'd hate to say it.... I might actually consider one! This is coming from the biggest Boxster hater of all time! I've always been a huge 911 fan (air cooled). However; the new 911s are 2 door Panameras

 

I too was not a Boxster enthusiast until the new style came out. You will love it.

 

I'll snap a few tomorrow & post them up.

 

I think that's Guess, not Gucci...but I could be wrong.

As for the rear end on the car, the new ones seem a little too "swole up" for me in the rear, but maybe I'm just biased becaue I have a 987. I wish I'd gotten the Caymen instead of Boxster though as I like the shape better.

 

I guess the jellybean look is what we are stuck with, but I prefer dat ass on the 930 turbo's.

Classic and means business booty. Wide stance from the back , with large tires and exhaust tips I think looks better than the melted Hersey's Kisses look we have now.
