Ricey Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I thought this was a 5 year old thread resurrection for a minute there........I assume the strap line is "2012 Porsche Boxster......Design By Tracing Paper" Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I thought this was a 5 year old thread resurrection for a minute there........I assume the strap line is "2012 Porsche Boxster......Design By Tracing Paper" I have to agree with you there Ricey looks just like the old one ..... but then thats what porsches are about Quote

Ekona Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 It's really not. The side and rear is completely different, and as for the interior... Only as similar as the 370 is to the 350. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 i like the back end on the new one and those side vents, and the front looks deeper a bit meatier, it gets a biscuit thumbs up from me Quote

I think its the angle of the pic on the Porsche website - your right its changed a fair bit....for the better I'd say Quote
Dblock Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Whats the weight of this one as I heard they are getting heavier and heavier? Quote
Stew Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I hope they do a spyder version....... IT'd look even more CGT like which can only be a good thing. Quote
Sarnie Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Whats the weight of this one as I heard they are getting heavier and heavier? Unladen weight (DIN) 1,320 kg 1,350 kg Unladen weight (EC) 1,395 kg 1,425 kg The first set of figures are the manual car, the second are the PDK. Circa 1300-1400kg seems light enough to me..... Quote
EH 370z Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 I was quite interested by the performance figures (including fuel consumption) on the Auto. Seems a very efficant set up Quote
Sarnie Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 So £47k for a PDK car, assuming thats poverty spec, I wonder what the final price would be for a decent well spec'd car? Quote
Ekona Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 My ideal spec is going to come out IRO £62K. Quote
Stew Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Is it in the configurator yet? It wasn't last night when I tried it... Quote
EH 370z Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 Is it in the configurator yet? It wasn't last night when I tried it... Yes i think thats the outgoing car. Christ I fear to think Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 My ideal spec is going to come out IRO £62K. Thats quite a lot of money...... but you are paying extra for a car that begins with "P" Quote
Ekona Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 If you look at the individual options, they're actually quite reasonable, I just want a lot of them! For what you get from the car, even at £60K it's still good value. Not as good as at £45K granted, that really is a bargain at that price, and it's not as if it's bare bones like an Elise at that spec either. I'm down at my local OPC tomorrow, I'm going to get them to price it up for me properly. Quote
Stew Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I just hit 60k on the configurator. I am not up on the ins and outs of all the options and that wasn't going absolutely mad. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 it gets a biscuit thumbs up from me have you been on a course Rich ? ... you seem to be coming up with lots of good phrases recently Quote

Stew Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 My spec wasn't that different to that although I didn't spec the ceramic brakes. Quote
Sarnie Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 They sneak stuff in there though that i never actually chose; the road assistance and 3rd year warranty. Thats nearly a grand there that I never actually wanted. Bizarrely this is probably the first car that i wouldn't want in a garrish colour as the red and yellow are not great and the other colours are bland to say the least, e.g a brown Porsche White or silver for me, with a red roof Quote
Dblock Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Ive heard that they are bringing out a baby type boxster which will be cheaper than this? Quote
