104 per liter in a N/A engine is indeed quite a feat. (my wife's Abarth has 114BHP per Liter, but is turboed).

The 78.1BHP per liter of the 3.2 or the 83BHP per litre of the 2.7 or the 80BHP per liter of the 2.5 is downright sad for such a fragile engine. With such "low strung" numbers, it should be more robust.
well de-tuned engine does not mean "go and make the most power you can"...
They're looking for an engine that can survive four years without threatening more expensive Porsches.
I'd say they achieved both goals. Good job Fritz.
But to be honest, that's not the point of a roadster. The emphasis is grip and handling.
The Boxster is the still the only Porsche that converges RWD, low COG, and MID engine handling.
M3 power would be nice but this car sets the bar in its class which the M3 and "other" Porsches can not say.
