If the four-cylinder is successful in the Boxster and Cayman there is a chance that it could be offered in other Porsche models, like the Macan.

“First of all, we will have it in the Boxster and Cayman successor,” Mueller revealed to Automotive News. “And then we will see how it works and how successful it is and how the customers will react on that, and then we will take the next decisions.”
Porsche hasn’t revealed any specs about the new four-cylinder, but it could come in 2.0L and 2.5L versions, both with turbochargers bolted on.
