Touring Edition<\/a>\u00a0of the GT3 with less wings and adornments are clear signs Porsche is serious.<\/p>\nThe latest rumor courtesy of the folks at Autocar magazine is that Porsche Motorsport is building new\u00a0718 Boxster\u00a0with the naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from the\u00a0911 GT3. We’ve always wanted a Boxster with a more potent engine, so the prospect of a Boxster with the ultimate Porsche engine is a tasty proposition indeed.<\/p>\n
Autocar\u00a0says the new Boxster Spyder\u00a0will be closely related to the new\u00a0Cayman GT4\u00a0and will give us Porsche fans what we have always wanted, a real motorsport-derived motor. Let’s imagine for a second what a 493 hp flat six could do to transform the Boxster performance. Yep, it is pretty bloody exciting. Even if they detuned the thing\u00a0down to 425hp, that’s still a massive jump and it’s a flat six so it won’t sound like crap like the current turbocharged four cylinder in the Boxster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
