Porsche 718 Boxster 2016-

[Revo]

#1 The first Porsche fitted with a flat-4 since the 914

[Revo]

#2 Base model has a 2,0-liter and Boxster S has a 2,5-liter turbocharged unit.

[Revo]

#3 It's the usual story: more performance, more efficiency - and 10% more expensive, of course

[Revo]

#4 But the truth is that the new Boxster has lost its most compelling feature.

#5 And could someone please explain the connection between 718 and Boxster?

Would that be the flat 6 howl? I'd miss that too.

Thanks for the post.

Your guess is as good as mine. That's an area code for telephone calls in NYC.

4-cyl, mid-engined, sportscar, marketeering.

The Porsche 718 from 1957 also had a 4 cylinder boxer engine.

The new name only makes sense to the boffins at Weissach.

It sad to lose the flat six.

I'd still have one though.
