Porsche has not yet decided whether to build a car smaller than the Boxster, hence a release could be expected in the summer of 2014 at the earliest, Porsche head Matthias Mueller has said.

If the automaker decides to build such a car, which is expected to cost less than EUR40,000, it will be launched in the late summer of 2014 and even later.

This is the first Mueller has given a timeline for this model.

Porsche may also pull out of its plan to build a small sports car in order to increase its sales to 200,000 units by 2018, the chief added.
