While no other details of the cars were noted, there has been a Boxster Spyder before. This was was part of the previous generation range and had a manual roof, slightly more power and returned suspension, with its weight loss claimed to be 80kg. As the latest Boxster is due for a mid-life facelift in 2015, the Spyder should be launched as part of that range.
The Macan GTS will join a range that now consists of the Macan, S, S Diesel and Turbo. Porsche is also expected to add the Macan Diesel either later this year or in 2016. This should have a four-cylinder engine to complement the V6-powered S Diesel. A new range topper, the Turbo S, is also expected to be added later in the Macan’s lifecycle.
