Open-top sportscars are truly important for Porsche from the company’s inception to modern days. One of the latest is the new 981 Boxster, a car which draws its inspiration from a very long tradition of making such vehicles, starting with the famous 550 Spyder.
For 2012, Porsche’s Boxster is all-new, featuring a lightweight construction, more power and a longer wheelbase. Both cars were brought to the 2012 Moscow International Motor Show to show the evolution of sportscars under the Porsche brand.

A new sportscar, designed as an entry to the Porsche range and as a spiritual successor was rumored to be developed together with VW and Audi models. But the project was drop completely, after which Porsche was rumored to be going at it alone.
