A brand new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine should provide the new Boxster with the performance to back up the looks. Apparently the new motor is capable of pumping out 360 bhp in a turbocharged format. The 3.4-liter flat-6 cylinder engine in the 2011 Boxster S currently serves up 310 bhp and 266 lb.-ft. of torque. A smaller engine could also boost the fuel economy and help trim curb weight.
The Boxster’s home is also moving early in 2013, from Finland to Austria. Magna Steyr will take over production from the Finnish firm Valmet. Look for the new Boxster to make its debut soon, most likely at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show in mid-November.
