In a presentation from Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn is the advent of the lightweight Boxster base. The big question is: is the Cayman GT4 philosophy continued to this toy?

During the annual presentation for the media and investors of the Volkswagen Group told Martin Winterkorn that next year will see 50 new cars come on the market within the Volkswagen Group, including Porsche 911 and Porsche Boxster Spyder”.

That there is a new 911 is coming is not a surprise and also a Boxster Spyder we saw coming, but it is the first time that Porsche officially about the last voice. The Boxster Spyder will probably be a substantial weight loss. It is possible that the same recipe is used as for the Cayman GT4: sharper, lighter, and a stripped-down interior.

In the previous Porsche Boxster Spyder was there 10 hp added compared to the Boxster S, but that would be in the current range, mean that a GTS is still more horsepower would have. May choose Porsche make a similar krachtkuur as the Cayman GT4 (385 hp) to apply. If we than the standard vermogensverschil of 10 hp between the Cayman and the Boxster into account we would arrive at 375 hp in a two-seater lightweight roadster with mid-engine. Not a bad recipe, right?
