Fresh Porsches debut at double

Meet the show-stoppers that will grace Porsche’s stand at the LA expo this week.

The revised Boxster and Cayman benefit from updated styling. They also get the twin-clutch box from the bigger 911, and versions of its fuel-efficient new 2.9-litre flat-six engine.

The Boxster has a 255bhp unit and the Cayman a 265bhp motor. S-badged 3.4-litre cars deliver 310bhp and 320bhp respectively. The changes add £1,250 to the price from launch in February, with the Boxster starting at £34,420 and the top Cayman S costing £45,050.

But the firm’s new four-door coupé, the Panamera, won’t be in LA. It debuts a few days later. Visit www.autoexpress.co.uk to see it on Monday 24 November.
