General Information

All new Boxster and Cayman models, as with the new 911, use a completely new generation of engines with significantly higher performance figures. The displacement of the completely new flat engine has been increased from 2.7 liters to 2.9 liters to achieve an increase in power output of 10 bhp to 225 bhp (188 kW) for the Boxster and 20 bhp to 265 bhp (195 kW) for the Cayman. In combination with the new standard 6-speed manual transmission, the basic versions now accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 6 seconds.

The power output of the new S models has increased by 15 bhp to 310 bhp (228 kW) for the Boxster S and by 25 bhp to 320 bhp (235 kW) for the Cayman S, while the displacement has stayed the same at 3.4 liters. This increase is mainly due to direct fuel injection (DFI).

The Cayman models have higher power output and torque values compared to the Boxster models. The result is better performance figures, which confirm the superior positioning of the Cayman models with regard to driving dynamics potential.
