Porsche Boxster Model year 2009 upgrades start where they do for any enthusiast machine: in the engine bay. The previous base Boxster's 2.7L flat-six has given way to a new 2.9L unit. Power rises from 245 to 255 hp; the Cayman's 2.9 is rated at 265 hp. There's no displacement increase for the S versions; it remains 3.4L, but the powerplant is largely new and boasts direct fuel injection. It spools out 310 hp in the Boxster S and 320 in the Cayman S, increases of 15 and 25 hp respectively.
Porsche's in-house developed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe -- call it PDK for short -- is a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle that's as modern as they come. It's really two separate transmissions, each with its own clutch. PDK allows control and responsiveness the old Tip S couldn't dream of and suffers none of the friction loss of a conventional automatic. It's available as an option on both Boxster and Cayman models.Boxster interior was rightly criticized as being too cheap and chintzy, something Porsche began working on early and has continued to upgrade. The '09 boasts a first-class cabin with a new center stack and new audio options. The optional (Porsche Communication Management) system incorporates a touch-sensitive monitor for the nav, audio, and other functions.Naturally, you can connect your iPod, link your phone via Bluetooth, and even slip the SIM card out of your phone and right into a slot on the dash for full integration with the on-board system. Order up a Bose 10-speaker surround-sound speaker system if you like. New optional seats are now heated and cooled.
Boxster are minimal. New, larger front air intakes, rear diffuser, two tailpipes, new outside mirrors. You can see for yourself when the new Boxster and the new Cayman with the same improvements enter showrooms in March in the United States.The price increases will be fairly stiff,That could a minimum of $52,000 for the base model and $61,000 for the Boxter S.
