Hi,

I just read in a Porsche magazine the 987 engine will be upgraded from 2.7 for the Boxster & 3.2 from the Boxster S to (between 2.8 and 3.0) & 3.4 respectively. This is suppose to happen sometime in the middle of this year. Has anyone heard about this?

Thanks

Prince



Well, if that's true two big improvements would happen. The Boxster would get a better engine and the Cayman would presumably get the 997 non "S" 3.6 engine and both would get the performance they should have had from the start. Particularly with the similarly priced, much quicker if inferior SLK55AMG and Z4M snapping at Porsche's heels for similar dosh. I would assume at the same time the 997 would also be upgraded to maintain the performance gap so important to paranoid Porsche.
