Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm.

Sounds good to me! The bore stroke is 102mm/77.5mm on the Carrera S.

I still think the 86/BRZ engine should have been a 2.5 liter...

Anyway, even though they may offer a 4 cylinder finally, it'll still be overpriced like over $40k.

"Believe it or not, the 2017 Porsche Boxster is an all new design, and instead of a flat-six, both the peasant-spec and fancier Boxster S will run with completely new turbocharged flat-four cylinders."

718 2.0-litre: 296bhp, 280lb-ft, and 40.9mpg

WRX 2.0-litre: 268bhp, 258lb-ft, and 27mpg

718S 2.5-litre: 345bhp, 310lb-ft, and 38.7mpg

STI 2.5-litre: 305bhp, 290lb-ft, and 23mpg

How did they get such good fuel economy?

Forgot about the drivetrain losses. I think you're right.
