This week first official images of the upcoming 2013 Porsche Boxster have been unveiled. We have to admit that we quite like what we see – the new Boxster looks more aggressive and sporty that its predecessors.

“The open-top two-seat car receives an entirely new lightweight body and a completely revamped chassis. The new Boxster weighs less than the previous generation and rides on a longer wheelbase and a wider track. These new dimensions are coupled with larger wheels and a new electromechanical power steering system to significantly enhance the mid-engine sports car’s driving dynamics. The new Boxster boasts superior performance and is also up to 15 percent more fuel-efficient than previous models on the European cycle.

The new sports car generation makes its debut in the classic Porsche pairing of Boxster and Boxster S. Both models are powered by flat-six engines with direct fuel injection, the efficiency of which is further enhanced by electrical system recuperation, thermal management and start/stop function. The base model’s new power unit delivers 265 hp from a 2.7 liter displacement – ten hp more than its larger displacement predecessor.

Technically, it is now based on the 3.4-liter engine of the Boxster S. This now delivers 315 hp, which is five hp more than before. Both models feature a manual six-speed gearbox as standard with the seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an option. Both sports cars achieve their best fuel consumption and acceleration performance with the PDK. With gear changes without interruption to the power flow, the Boxster sprints from zero to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, the Boxster S in 4.7 seconds.”

Porsche is introducing two new cabriolet versions of the recently unveiled seventh-generation 911 Carrera. These new models, the 911 Carrera Cabriolet and 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, will go on sale Spring 2012.

Like the coupe, the 2012 911 Carrera cabriolet features innovative aluminum-steel construction with the addition of an all-new convertible top design, which preserves the typically sleek 911 coupe roof line. Intelligent lightweight design that includes extensive use of aluminum, magnesium and advanced high strength steel ensures lower vehicle mass and lower fuel consumption while offering improved driving dynamics and additional comfort. As with the 911 coupe models, the new Porsche open-top models are significantly lighter than their predecessors. Each of the two new cabriolets uses the same engine as their coupe equivalents.

Take a further look at the new convertibles after the jump.

Sitting between the 911 GT3 Cup and 911 GT3 RSR (which competes in Le Mans races), the 911 GT3 R represents the mid-range of Porsche’s customer racing vehicles. For 2012, the engine output has increased by 20 hp (to 500 hp), paddle-shifts have been added to the steering wheel to ensure gear changes are even quicker and simpler, and a softer anti-roll bar on the front axle reduces understeer. The new Porsche 911 GT3 R will be delivered to teams around the world from November 2011, with a starting price of 304,500 Euro. Note the adidas logo on the wing.

Ahead of the IAA car tradeshow in Frankfurt, images have leaked of the upcoming 2012 Porsche 911, certainly one of the more anticipated cars to come out in the near future.

While keeping the shape very similar to the current 911, the Stuttgart car manufacturer added a few design details that make overall quite a big difference. Both the front and back have been updated and while seeming a little more round, the car looks even more sporty and aggressive than before. Concerning the interior you really feel the luxury expertise that Porsche has gained over the years, mainly due to their Panamera model. Comfort, functionality and just overall appearance have received a big upgrade inside the car.

The overall longer look is no surprise, as the new 2012 Porsche 911 is in fact slightly longer than its predecessor. Soon news should also come out on the engine upgrades of the car.

Take a more detailed look at the beast after the jump.

Today Porsche finally revealed the new 911 GT3 RS 4.0 limited edition. This new car marks the last limited edition GT3 RS based on the current Carrera 911 design. The 4.0 liter engine is packed with 500 horsepower and just all around the latest in what a street supercar can offer. The suspension, vehicle weight, brakes and overall design have of course also been improved. The minimalist and sporty interior came out beautiful, especially due to the heavy use of carbon fibre. We love the retro styling of the exterior of the car, perfectly in line of what we have been seeing from the Porsche racing division for so many years already. The car will go on sale in Germany July 2011 and is limited to 600 units worldwide.

Many more images of the car follow after the click.

This is something exactly down our alley. The new Singer Porsche 911 is based on a 90s era version of the iconic sportscar, yet features carbon fibre body, new powerful engines, going up to 425 hp, wheels inspired by the 60s and a functional new premium interior. You get the best out of both worlds – classic design and modern performance. The golden touch is the classic Carrera RS steering wheel from 1973.

A four door Porsche was already supposed to come out in the 90’s. The high development costs almost ruined Porsche as a company. With the successful introduction of their Cayenne jeep, it looked like Porsche could pull off something else aside from their sports cars this time around. Soon the new four door Panamera will be released – the Porsche “Family” car so to speak. Opinions are mixed on the new car, but we have to say, we like it and we like the idea behind it.

Today we get a first look at not only the exterior, but also the interior of the car, which offers all four passengers full seats and of course everything else you would expect from a luxury car. We cannot wait to see it on the roads. Via Openers.

Many images from the interior of the Porsche Panamera follow after the jump.

This is big news – finally images of the much anticipated four door Porsche Panamera are out. For those of you that have a bit of an interest in cars, Porsche actually wanted to come out with a four door car years ago and almost went bankrupt at the time because of the massive R&D costs. Now after successfully launching their Cayenne a couple of years ago, the timing seems better. From the first images the Panamera looks great.

Have a look at some more images after the jump.
