It looks like Porsche Cars North America is set to unveil a third member for its Boxster line with the 2011 Spyder. The 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder is all set to make its debut at the LA Auto Show on December 2, 2009 for a selling price of $61,200. Among the striking features of the 2011 Spyder include a 3.4 liter engine, 320HP, 6 cylinder motor with direct fuel injection and a suspension that has been lowered to 20mm.

It will also be sporting a lightweight frame thanks to aluminum doors and interior door panels which weigh less than 176 lbs. It also gets 10 more horsepower as well than the S. Other than that, all other questions in mind should be answered once it makes its formal debut at the LA Auto Show so be sure not to miss it!

For the many North Americans who have been eagerly awaiting their chance to catch a glimpse at the latest Porsche model, you can get your chance to do so this coming August 9 to 16 during Monterey Peninsula’s Classic Car Week. The all-new Porsche Panamera Gran Turismo is the first-ever four-door sports car. Porsche’s unique four-seater was conceived and designed as a grand touring car, combining numerous talents in typical Porsche style: sporting driving dynamics, a spacious interior, and the supreme comfort of a gran turismo.

“The exclusive automotive events that take place on the Monterey Peninsula this August are the perfect stage to roll out this extraordinary car,” said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “Our Panamera will feel right at home among both vintage and modern classics and will make quite a splash among the tens of thousands of true automobile enthusiasts there.”

The Porsche Panamera Gran Turismo will start selling by October 17, 2009.
