Z4 with V8 M3 engine will make the Boxster obsolete if done right



Disagree. There is more to a good sports car than straight line acceleration. Power to weight is the important figure, and it is better achieving that with light weight than with more power. The way Porsche do it, in fact.



Its to early to talk about weight... New Z4 will keep similar weight to current Z4 despite metal roof, it will have better platform, better weight ratio, better engines...

Boxster S could be lighter, but is almost 10 seconds slower to current Z4 M on Nurburgring and new Z4 is going to be faster than current Z4.

Don't be suprised if Porsche will use metal roof some day. Did you expect diesel to be in Porsche ? Mercedes, BMW, now even Ferrari use metal roof , so I guess that is what buyers wants. Metal roof on new Z4 will be a lot lighter than roof on E93 cabrio.
