To get this kind of rev range, new heads, valves, pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft were also fitted. So was a new intake manifold with two resonance flaps. Altogether, this engine makes 414 horsepower at 7600 rpm—39 more than the 2016 Boxster Spyder—and 309 pound-feet of torque from 5000–6800 rpm, identical to the 2016 car.
