Porsche to rename Boxster/Cayman to 718

[tomonomics]

There will still be Boxster and Cayman names to signify the body style.

So, just like there is: 911 Carrera and 911 Targa and 911 Carrera 4 GTS...

...there will be: 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster GTS

Personally, I hope this opens up the door for a mid-engine platform that will slot alongside (above!) the 911. The oft-rumored Ferrari fighter, aka baby 918, aka Cayman GT4 on steroids.

Going to be flat four turbos.

I'm looking forward to seeing someone transplant the turbo 4 into a Beck Spyder or that 904 replica.
