Porsche introduces its third-generation Boxster. The two-seater convertible features a completely new light-weight body and a thoroughly re-designed chassis. Its lighter weight, broader footprint and larger wheels give the mid-engined sports car better handling. The 'coasting' function helps to save fuel by disengaging the driveshaft from the engine entirely when the driver lets up on the gas. Drive it! tested out the Boxster S. Its 3.4 liter, 232 kilowatt engine rockets the car from 0 to 100 kph in just 5 seconds.
