When the Porsche Boxster debuted in 1997 it had a 201-horsepower, 2.5-liter horizontally-opposed “boxer” engine. Ten years later, the 2007 model boasts a 2.7-liter boxer engine pushing 245 horsepower, up five horsepower from 2006. And torque, which we all know is the real indication of a car’s ability to haul ass, is up to 201 lb.-ft. between 4,600 and 6,000 rpm, an increase of two lb.-ft. from last year.
