We’ve known for some time that Porsche will be developing a new four-cylinder boxer engine and we’ve also previously suggested a high-powered turbo version will find its way into the new Cayman later this year (and the Boxster too).
A new report from Porsche specialist site Flat-6 News says the 2.5 litre four-pot boxer unit is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The new powerplant needs to be in a car, or cars, of some sort, so pencil in the arrival of Boxster and Cayman Turbo models.
Peak power of 350hp (260kW) or more is still predicted and will arrive thanks to the use of a single turbocharger, complemented by proven Porsche technology such as Direct Fuel Injection and VarioCam Plus.

Not sure we’ll be seeing this next week, but it would be nice!
