The '08 and '09 Bullitt had 315.
Crazy, ain't.

This is a similar revelation with the new turbo-4 Porsche Coxsters

There is, however, a massive silver lining: While the engine may not be a match for the previous flat sixes for sound or ultimate smoothness, the offset — as expected — is torque. The advantage is big, not only in terms of peak torque (+35% in the Boxster and +17% in the Boxster S) but especially in terms of usable torque at lower revs, where the turbo fours shred the normally-aspirated sixes. Over the road, around an autocross, and on a track, older Boxsters will have a tough time staying with the new cars. How fast is the new Boxster S? With the right options, it’s 16 seconds faster than its predecessor around the Nürburgring’s North Loop — and six seconds faster than a 997.1 GT3.

That's crazy!!

Of course, it's not like they could replace them with something slower.
