TEASED! Porsche Gives Us Just A TASTE Of What's To Come With The REFRESHED Boxster Spyder

Here we go, Spies!

It appears that Porsche is starting to roll out the carpet for a slow reveal of its refreshed Porsche Boxster Spyder. According to the latest reports, the 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder are expected to be revealed at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. That means a reveal around July 4.

Rumors are indicating that the GT4 and Spyder will receive a detuned 911 GT3 motor, which is the 4.0-liter flat six. Power estimates are in the ballpark of 420-430 horsepower.

Considering these vehicles weigh in at under 3,000 pounds, we're talking about some serious grunt here.

In this brief teaser clip, Porsche edited it in such a way that we're talking about individual frames. If you are very precise with your clicking you can pause it to see glimpses of the updated Boxster Spyder. Clearly, it will receive an updated front clip for better cooling. The single piece, double bubble rear decklid will remain.

And that's about all I can make out.

That said, scope out the clip below as well as my two screen grabs below.

Did they change one bolt and call it all new?

Refreshed. Not all new.

So they added an unseen crease in the bumper and are calling it refreshed?

Porsche need to stop being so full of itself. Either show the fucking car or stop putting out these silly "teaser" videos. They're just annoying.

Then with the teaser you expect some real change. But you finally see the car and are disappointed that the change is of the "why bother" type.

I think Porsche in general never really drastically change designs. Usually subtle exterior changes, but great stuff when they change anything in regards to internals and drive line. The refreshed models almost always drive better.

The operative words are malaise and doldrums.

Maybe we'll get a 3-cylinder W engine. I mean they killed the 6 cylinder for the horribly unrefined Super Beetle 4, so what's the next step down?

They lost me when they decided to call this model 718 out of the blue. Fake heritage can't be put on a model that never had any. They should have done this from the start if they were serious. It seems to be a marketing play to give it some credibility.
