more like a head fake. "no we're not selling you a fancied up Jetta engine for $70K at all, we're selling you racing history!".
So can I go "racing" with this new turbo 4 at my local track and still keep my warranty?
Auf keinen Fall!!!

The press release said that the 718 used to set track records and the new 718 boxster Cayman will too.

Marketing mumbo jumbo, or maybe the higher torque and lighter weight will actually make the new cars damn quick (at the expensive of purity)
