To comply with Europe’s strict 2012 CO2 laws, automaker Porsche is on its way to reduce its environmental impact with its next-generation Boxster sports car. The new version prototype that is undergoing testing lowers CO2 fleet-wide CO2 numbers with smaller displacement powertrains on the lightweight and entry-level model of the Boxster. The new car will incorporate a four-cylinder engine, or could also be seen using a three-cylinder turbo and could produce between 180 and 200 horsepower and emit just 180g/km of CO2.

The German automaker that puts nearly 300,000 vehicles on the market annually will not have to worry about EU's 120 g/km 2012 regulations much, but will have to bring down its carbon emissions by 25 percent compared with its 2006 fleet average. The company still doesn't know the exact number of CO2 it needs to shoot for. According to new reports, Porsche may be planning a special fuel-efficient model as well.
