No, too big, it´s definitely the new Boxster.
the Boxster test mule has already been spotted a while ago,
(before the sub Boxster model got the green light) and it looks exactly like it:

Looks Fantastic!!!. I love the seating position of the Boxster where the driver sits way below the raked windshield and the driver's body is below the door from a side view.

Note the door panel has ripples in the reflection - the false panel they put on (to hide the new intake) makes the car looks like it was patched with bad bondo job.

I really like the side intake (like CGT) and the very raked/less rounded canvas when top is up. U.S. bound cars will likely get bumperettes... it's crash test requirement.

Yeah um why is Porsche the only car maker in the entire world that can't design a bumper to pass US crash requirements without bumperettes - on a $100,000 car no less.

It's a total joke, IMO.

Hopefully they fixed it for the 9x1 series.

Anyone know what the leaked or official motor and power options will be versus the current Spyder?
