The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in 1996 with a flat six-cylinder engine, and 20 years later — Porsche is unveiling the 718 Boxster with a four-cylinder engine. The 718 Boxster will be the first Boxster with a four-cylinder engine in its 20-year lifespan.

The 718 Boxster's exterior design is all-new while the cabin and dashboard are also revised. Other noticeable exterior changes are new headlights with integrated daytime running lights, standard bi-xenon, and optional full LED.

At the rear, new LED "3d" taillights, updated bumper and a central-mounted dual exhaust pipe enhance the design. As for the interior, a revised steering wheel, an improved Porsche Communication Management infotainment system, and a redesigned instrument panel are the major revisions.

The unveiling of the new 718 Boxster and the strictly limited-edition vehicle will take place during the Porsche press conference on March 1. Stay tuned to DriveSpark for live coverage of the Geneva International Motor Show [3 - 13 March 2016].
