Wasn't sure if I could link another site here. There have been rumors for awhile of that power range. As has been pointed out the subies' are getting close to that now.

This could be a way to keep the Boxster/Cayman from overlapping into the 911 series market. I want them to take the 3.4L 6 and turbocharge it. A factory turbo charged Boxster. A hybrid assisted turbo 4 sounds interesting however.

Excerpt: "..... Car contends that the next major Boxster/Cayman facelift is due around 2015/2016 and a host of new drivetrains will follow suit. A bigger bore twin-turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four will replace the current 3.4-liter flat-six, developing over 350 horsepower and a similar amount of torque. A smaller, 1.6-liter version will make its way into the oft-rumored 356-inspired speedster, the nearly forgotten mid-engine Volkswagen and Audi's sub-TT. And don't be surprised if a hybrid-assist option appears in late 2016."
