News report on the next Boxster

rough translation
Porsche is planning a new Boxster for 2012
With a VW 2.0-liter TFSI engine, and quite possibly a 2.0 Tdi biturbo, with 204 horses and about 500nm of torque, it's the same engine that audi intends to use as a replacement for the current 2.7 v6 Tdi , and will be coupled to a DSG tranny
That's a lot of torque for hairdressing imho.
no panic just yet, the flat-6 will still be available...
ironic though, Boxster running with a 4-in line
perhaps they will rename it to the 4Linester if it comes with a 4 banger...
