Boxster S to get Cayman S engine in 2007
911 & Porsche World Porsche News February 2006 page 9
Word reaches us that Porsche is working on a new 3.4-litre flat-six engine for the Boxster, and which will be available in the UK in late summer. Presumably a Cayman S unit in a lower tune, this plus strong rumors of a new 2.8-3.0 litre engine suggests that the whole Boxster range is being bumped up in power. 'Porsche are keeping that one very quiet because they are still producing the 3.2,' a source says.
I say they put the exact engine as the Cayman S and bump up the price to Cayman S levels. It makes no sens eto de-tune the 3.4L further. It already puts out only 15hp more than the 3.2L and is supposedly good for 325hp. Of course, they could just be giving themesleves headroom for future power bumps.
