Is the Boxster the unloved stepchild?

Because you would be taking away kudos & profit from THE recognised icon.

Forget the Boxster, if Porsche wanted to promulgate a potential world beater both on track & road, they would shoehorn a Metzger GT3 engine into a Cayman... but that ain't going to happen while the 911 rules the roost.

They may have to. the new 981 Cayman is already rumored to be slower than the Boxster Spyder in track testing.
