Meanwhile, the more potent Boxster S and Cayman S models will feature a larger 2.5-litre four-pot pumping out 300 hp. At the top of the range will be the refreshed Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS both of which will feature tuned versions of the 2.5-litre delivering around 370 hp.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, these three engines will feature a single turbocharger rather than two but there\u2019s a possibility the German marque could also implement an e-boost electric system for select Boxster and Cayman versions. Obviously, the implementation of these new four cylinder engines means that the naturally-aspirated sixes of the outgoing cars will no longer be used.<\/p>\n<p>Although unconfirmed, it seems apparent that the refreshed pair will debut at either the Detroit Motor Show 2016 in January or the Geneva Motor Show 2016 in March.<\/p>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2015\/08\/porsches-facelifted-2016-boxster-set-to.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carscoops<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new prototype for the facelifted Porsche Boxster has just been spied in the midst of testing.
