Alright Porsche purists, whether you like it or not, Porsche is preparing to launch a new four-cylinder Boxer engine in the Boxter and Cayman.
Don't like the idea? Maybe you should. This is no humdrum four-cylinder. It might actually be a 911 beater.
According to Automotive News, the engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower. No nose-thumbing should be going on here, as that is already more horsepower than the current flat-six-powered Cayman GTS that makes a romping 340 hp.
To reassure you; Boxer-fours are nothing new to Porsche. Flat fours found their way under the hoods of the 356, 912, and 914.
As a matter of fact, the 944 also had a thumping four-cylinder, which was one of the largest displacement four-cylinders ever made at 3.0-liters.
Whether or not the backwards-engined fiends find it acceptable doesn't matter, because Porsche seems to know what it's doing.
Personally, I am looking forward to a lighter, higher-reving, screaming boxer four in the future of amazing German engineering. To me, it's a good thing the flat-six is getting chopped.
To the those Porsche purists who say otherwise, just tell them, "Auf Wiedersehen!"
