Default Porsche Coupe Rumors Abound!

Will it be less than the current Boxster? My Porsche salesman says yes (he thinks). Will it be available with the rumored 300 h.p. motor? He also told me these pictures are real.

pictures are chops of the boxster facelift press pics. hell, the 03 exhuast tip is on the 2nd one, and they got rid of that in the 987. some 987 elements were chopped from 987 press pics.

some obvious giveaways are:

986 mirrors
986 facelift exhuast tip
9X8 carrera rims
front hood shutline has more curves than 9X7 generation
various 987 elements straight out of the press pics

i could go on about the image errors, but i wont.


however, you are right about the 987 coupe, there is much indication that it will be built

Thats a total photoshop! There's strong word they went with buttresses on the rear, ala italian style. (i hope so!) The camo pics in excellence even show a better looking car than that...disguised even! Im sure Porsche is going to surprise everyone with the new coupe.

I've got most of the pictures I've been able to scour off the web up on www.porscheboxster.info - Click on the "Coupe pics" link on the left and have at it.
