Porsche designers are finally getting a move on and do a bit of work. The new versions of the 911 and the Boxster look substantially different than their predecessors. The latter, Boxster, is described by many, who saw it in the flesh at the Geneva Motor Show, as a properly pretty car. It also comes with new technology features. The ingredients for a brilliant sports car are all here then.

Here’s the official footage of the car’s first public unveiling at the Geneva show. It comes in two Boxster and Boxster S guises.
