Hi guys. An interesting read sent to me from Aus today.

Good read indeed... Interesting that they're ditching the 3.6 and going back to a 3.4 for the non S...

 

Yeh. It'll be even more interesting to see how she drives with the reduced capacity. Usually smaller cubes mean you need to exploit the upper rev band to get the same shove as a larger cubed engine. Lets see. It was also interesting the engine view is non existent from opening the rear decklid. It kind of removes the need to even have it open now. Shame as it was always nice to at least see some of the engine. One negative of the boxter.

 

Very interesting article speed.

What has been very puzzling is figuring how much curb weight did the car lose. (Funny, I guess Aussies spell kerb with a k and e). Is the 30-45kg weight loss in reference to the body construction or the entire curb weight? It sounds like curb weight, but the journalists may have made an honest mistake too.
