The STi has had 305bhp from 2.5 liters since 2004. I haven't seen anything reporting that kind of power on the Boxster 4 cylinder.

me neither. my guess would be 240HP base & 305HP S, but with a slightly lighter car.....

also, i wouldn't be surprised if they went for a single turbo I4 to save money.....

My point is Porsche should use Subaru's reliable motor in the "new" Boxster.

how about Mitsu's 2.0 turbo , motor trend got 4.3 to 60 in the GSR 5 speed model. this car is heavy and only has 290 H.P. and smokes the
STI in handling .
I highly welcome a flat 4 turbo it will give the boxster something it never had , TORQUE ! Just think of all the tuning possibilities with the turbo motor. 3 to 4 k in an EVO gives close to 400H.P. at the wheels !
