Not sure I dig the CGT look door dents or the fixed spoiler across the brake lights. I hadn't heard they were putting a turbo 4 in in though.

Styling aside, I love this. Finally an entry level mid engine platform from Porsche that has some serious tuning potential with a 2.5L 4cylinder turbo making 360bhp stock. Can't wait to see more specs about the torque and the proposed gearing. I can't see this one being full of anything but "win"

I thought the flat 4 was going into the baby boxster...maybe not

BTW: looks like a Photoshop. Look at the license plates in each of the picture and their slant.

Hmm. someone added the pic to my post. Thanks Jazz(?) Where'd you find the bigger pic? R&T only had little ones.

Yeah, that nose DOES look photoshopped. The angle and perspective is off. Oh well. So does this mean the Boxster STi part is a hoax too?

I like it.

Maybe the front plate is just hooked into the tow hook (not centered) and it's not quite straight.

I think it's an improvement over the old design and the side air intake should benefit from the ram air effect.

Car magazines do this all the time and have been doing it for years.
