We hope our friends at Hidden Image have some extra-thick parkas, because we’re getting the chills just looking at this Porsche Boxster mule.

Caught testing in wintry Sweden and on the road near Stuttgart, it would appear that Porsche’s enchanting roadster is set to receive some styling tweaks in time for 2008. Of note, the car receives a revamped front bumper fascia incorporating LED daytime running lamps and rounded-off air intakes. From these photos, it’s unclear whether the car will receive new headlamps, but given that they’re disguised here, it’s a reasonably safe bet. Out back, there’s a new rear bumper cap, as well as new taillamps incorporating LED lighting.

Sadly, mums the word on any drivetrain or interior updates, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more.

Sooner than expected we can show you pictures of the face lifted version of Porsche’s Boxster during winter testing in northern Scandinavia and on the road near Stuttgart. Already once the Boxster underwent a restyling in 2004, so the new one can be expected in 2008.

The car will then get a new front bumper with LED daylight driving lights as well as re-designed and much rounder air intakes. The headlamps are disguised too, so we guess that they also will get a new shape. Furthermore a new rear bumper and completely new taillights with LED are included in this major restyling. Technical improvements are for now still unknown as are changes to the interior.

The photos are showing a test car at night on wintry roads in Sweden and one clear photo of a rear view, this one also with the upcoming new taillights and the new bumper and spoiler.

Does this mean the Cayman is also getting a facelift? Cause I was planning on getting one in 6-9 months...

 

Not sure of that one because presently there isn't any news on a Cayman facelift. However, the Cayman would definately be next in line to get the LED taillights because Porsche is outfitting most (if not all) of it's product line with them.

 

Thanks for sharing. I like it more than the old one!!!

 

Thanks!....
I DO like more this new front and rear bumper..very good...
and looking forward to see more info because our 3rd car will be a Boxster or Panamera

 

Am I the only one who hates the look of the front LED turn signals????

Compare it to this:

Isn't that rear bumper merely part of the presently available "Sport Design Package" (XAL $5865)

 

LOL WTF, Arling you need to lay off the crack!!

 

So new leds for the Boxster as well!

The Stewie's Eyes brakelight design is the hot new trend:
