Porsche Drops Turbo 4 Cylinder Models Of Boxster And Cayman

Porsche has dropped its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged 718 Boxster and Cayman GTS models from its portfolio, replacing them with new variants powered by the 4-litre, naturally aspirated flat-six engine from the Spyder and GT4.

These two new models sit above the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged S variants and below the aforementioned Motorsport Department cars, and will go one sale later this spring, with the Cayman GTS costing from £64,088 and the Boxster equivalent an additional £1861.

Smart move. Porsche always has their famous flat 6 engines.

Isn't the title misleading?-- it makes it sound like they dropping the 4 cylinder turbo engine from all Boxter and Cayman models. They are continuing it in the base and S models and only dropping it from the GTS.

Now they need to drop "718" that no one knows the meaning of and go with 916.
