Porsche Might Add VW 4-Cylinder Engines To The Boxster And Cayman Models

Porsche are thinking about a new 4-cylinder engine for the Porsche Boxster and Cayman models. The new engines will be coming from the Volkswagen partner, where the new partnership might make this unofficial deal completely possible.

The change to 4-cylinder engines will allow for better fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions in their line up, which at the end might help with the European and US government requirements.

“Clearly there is a trend to downsizing,” board member Klaus Berning said at a recent Panamera launch. ”We have to do everything possible within the brand limits to lower CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. [A four-cylinder] brings a lot of efficiency, so I will not exclude that, but if you ask me did we already decide one, no.”

Klaus went on to say, “Never say never.”
