wat te denken van Ruf...komt er in Boxster (zie foto's) en Cayman
RUF gives the new 981 Cayman S the balls it needs with the 3800S - 420 horsepower 3.8 liter PDK Boxster
Porsche neuters the Boxster. Say what you want about how great the 911 is but Porsche protects their icon at the expense of Boxster and Cayman. There really is no reason a Boxster can not have more power than it does other than the fact it would stomp the equivalent 911, say the Carrera, hard. The proof is in the Cayman having the exact same 3.4 liter motor as the 991 Carrera but detuned specifically to protect the 911 (and its owner's ego).
Well in comes RUF to do what everyone wants by putting the 3.8 liter motor out of the Carrera S into the Boxster calling it the 3800S. The PDK transmission is retained and the Boxster now has 420 horsepower versus the 315 horsepower Porsche gives it from the factory.
The thing is, one does not need RUF's expensive swap. The 3.4 liter and 3.8 liter motors are basically identical. What is the main difference? The bore. The Boxster S and 991 Carrera have the exact same 3.4 liter at 97x77.5mm. The 991 Carrera S gets a bore increase to 102mm yet the stroke stays the same 77.5mm.
So take a Boxster S, bore it out, get some factory Carrera S pistons, and voilà. A 991 Carrera S motor in a Boxster.
