Summary

A completely new family of turbocharged flat engines was developed for the new generation of the Porsche Sports Cars 911 Carrera and 718 Boxster. Turbocharged flat engines are used for the first time in these Sports Car models instead of naturally aspirated engines. The engine family features a displacement range from 2.0 to 3.0 litres with a power spectrum from 300 to 420 hp. The unique, more than 60-year-old concept of Porsche flat engines is combined with the 40-year-old tradition of Porsche turbocharging in these new engines – tradition and innovation therefore join forces in a new direction, and the flat engine concept has been interpreted in a completely new and exciting way.
