This is the first picture of the new Porsche Boxster`s interior – and as you can see the entry-level roadster is following the Panamera and latest 911 upmarket with a dramatic new cabin. 

It features an extended transmission tunnel with a bank of switches located behind the gearlever, which control the electric folding roof and other features such as the PASM active dampers. On top of the facia is a new analogue clock with is set between a pair of air vents.

A new, larger colour screen showing satnav info also features as does a step-up in quality throughout with softer leathers and higher grade metals and plastics. As you can see this Boxster gets a PDK twin-clutch gearbox and like the latest 911, most Boxsters are expected to be ordered with the new automatic transmission. 

Under the skin is a new platform from the latest 911, with power set to come from a new 270bhp flat-four cylinder engine for entry-level cars with a more powerful 3.4-litre flat-six cylinder engine carried over, complete with start-stop. 

You can see completely undisguised pictures of the new Boxster here, but while the new 911 Cabriolet will be the star of Porsche`s Detroit Motor Show stand in January, we`ll have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show in March for the Boxster`s unveil.
