In advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche has released a flurry of photos featuring the upcoming 2010 Porsche Boxster Spyder. The new pictures serve as a follow up to the German automaker's first official word about the car earlier in the month.

The Boxter Spyder comes with a 320 horsepower, 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine that launches the convertible from 0-100 km/h in about 4.8 seconds. Even with the roof down, the car manages to climb to 267 km/h, roughly 166 mph.

Keeping weight to just 1,275 kilograms helped Porsche achieve fuel economy of 9.3L/100km. When the car is released in February, it will cost €53,100, pre-tax.

the visual changes are so minimal, its a shame... i would have hoped for more than just a new rear deck. less practicality for more money? i guess it makes sense in the sportscar world.

soccer mom's point of view : less practicality. driving enthusiast's point of view : less weight, better driving dynamics.

ditto here scrathcy996. Like this a LOT better than the regular Boxster. But not to say that I don't like the Boxster at all, I think Porsche put a hint of CGT into this for sure!

(Il)logic defined?:

Some people are fond of saying that Boxters are for people who can't afford a 911.

And the reason I'm stuck driving a 5 year old Dodge with over 100k miles? Simple:

I couldn't afford the Veyron.

i'd take the Caterham R500 or an Elfin MS8 over the Elise. some random guy will take the Ariel Atom over the Caterham. and the next random guy will take the Radical RS8 over the Atom...

These aren't new photos! They were released over two weeks ago on the Porsche site. I love how one news site reports bad info, you all hop on without checking the sources. Just shows how bad your info is.
