2013 Boxster max rpm/max hp, & rear suspension type

Both 2013 engines redline at 7800 rpm, yet the maximum horsepower is achieved at 6700 rpm. Quite a spread and it looks like this is where the engine will "evolve" to higher horsepower over the next few years. Concerning the rear suspension, it's no longer a simple MacPherson, but the LSA multilink.

Minus 40 degrees... Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?

Actually, I think this is where the engine evolution will be going if this article is correct.
