保时捷董事会主席Matthias Müller近日透露,车厂明年将为Boxster和Cayman改款车提供四缸水平对置涡轮增压引擎。另外，未来车厂还将用四缸引擎替代911卡雷拉搭载的3.4升水平对置六缸引擎。虽然目前不清楚四缸引擎规格，但有报道称，1.6升版本功率156千瓦/210马力，而2.0升版本功率213千瓦/286马力，扭矩399牛米。而更大的2.5升功率达到268千瓦/360马力，扭矩470牛米。不过，最近德国媒体透露，Müller暗示，新引擎的功率将提升至395马力。目前，保时捷已经为某些市场销售的Macan提供了四缸涡轮增压引擎，功率为177千瓦/237马力，扭矩350牛米。

 

Porsche announces four-cylinder turbo engine coming to Boxster and Cayman in 2016

Porsche chief Matthias Müller has revealed plans to introduce a four-cylinder turbocharged engine on the Boxster & Cayman duo next year.

 

The four-cylinder boxer turbo engine is bound to show up in next year's facelifted Boxster and Cayman range and there are some chances of seeing it in the 911 Carrera in the future as a replacement of the 3.4-liter flat-six motor.

 

Technical specifications concerning this new smaller engine are not available at this point, but a report from last year indicated the 1.6-liter version will have 210 bhp (156 kW) while the 2.0-liter is expected to deliver 286 bhp (213 kW) and 295 lb-ft (399 Nm). There should also be a larger 2.5-liter generating as much as 360 bhp (268 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. However, a recent German report states Müller has suggested the new motor will be capable of producing "up to 395 horsepower."

 

We remind you Porsche is already offering a four-cylinder turbo engine for the Macan in select markets where it produces 237 bhp (177 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm).
