When ‘Geneva’ and ‘Secret’ come together you can’t help but think of espionage and politics crap. But we’re talking about Geneva Motor Show here, and as for the secrets, well that’s the term Porsche uses for the details Hans-Jürgen Wöhler, Manager of the Boxster model line, gives you in this video. He gives you the real skinny, the low-down on the technology that went into the new Boxster.

Considering what we are hearing these days about how brilliant the new Boxster 981 is, we have to say kudos to Hans and his fellow engineers. They’ve done a good job.

Here’s some facts and figures as a refresher on the new Boxi:
