Next-generation 2012 Porsche Boxster may come with a newly developed 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine

Here is the latest set of spy shots of the upcoming 2012 Porsche Boxster.

This next-generation Boxster prototype was spotted while conducting some track runs during the new testing season at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Wearing the same camo as in the previous sets of spy shots when we spotted the car doing its winter testing in Scandinavia, the new Boxster does seem to have become a sleeker car design-wise, following in the footsteps of the next-generation 2012 911 model.

Speculation is that the next-generation Boxster will come with a newly developed 2.5 liter, four-cylinder engine from Porsche. That new power plant is said to have a turbocharged variant with an output of around 360 bhp (268 kW / 365 PS).

As always, we await more news.

365 PS sounds like too much, that's more than the 998 will get.

I don't know how I feel about a 4 cylinder Boxster. I like the flat 6's.

4 cylinder turbo Porsche...brings back memories of the 944 Turbo that we used to beat around for fun.

Turbocharged roadster at that pricepoint? I can already see the recklessly fast tuner variants coming in!
