Re: 217 HP 2.7 L?
Where do these people get their info?
Probably on the Internet.

Connor Hoffman, who wrote the article for Car and Driver didn't comprehend the original news release by Porsche, which states:

"The Boxster was a true Porsche. At the same time, its centrally installed flat-six engine, which initially had a displacement of 2.5 litres and an output of 150 kW (204 PS), was engineered to meet stricter emissions standards thanks to water cooling, four-valve technology and variable intake timing.
An increase in power and further model enhancements followed soon after. The first 986 Boxster generation received a 2.7-litre engine in 1999, initially with 162 kW (220 PS) and later with 168 kW (228 PS)".

Happy Boxstering,
