No way will Porsche make a 4 pot turbo engine that will produce less power than the MB AMG - it will more than likely blow our 6 cylinder cars into the weeds........
PS - I can't believe how cheap Porsche's are in the ad next to the article in question - less than half what we pay in Australia - the very cheapest Boxster is over $US120,000 before any extras. Makes me weep.

I don't really care too much about absolute power. To be honest, with the pathetic low speed limits, and the fanatical revenue raising via speed fines in Victoria, backed up by zillions of speed cams, and camouflaged speed cops hiding in the bushes, anything more than my 2.7 is totally unusable.
It's the handling, and the sound of that flat six, that the big pleasure. To me, it's just not a Porsche without that flat 6.
Don't mention the price of cars in Australia
