If the HP/Tq figures comes close to actual production and have a weight of roughly 2600 lbs, this car will be awesome. I wonder what they will do with current Boxter/Cayman HP/TQ. Baby Boxster will outperform the current models.

Porsche made several 4 cyl turbos starting with the 924 and this was Audi based engines. They made a huge improvement with the 944 turbo in 1986. 1988 they made the turbo S (I stii own one today and still love it). They also made 968 turbo S in limited production using 3.0 Ltrs. 305HP /368 Tq . Today you'll find a lot of 944 turbos with 3.0 turbo with more than 500 HP .

A flat four baby boxster with those figures will be something and will have lots of potential.
