Facing a great deal of pressure from EU law makers to reduce emissions, Porsche is planning on offering its next-generation Boxster with a new 4-cylinder or even a turbocharged 3-cylinder. According to the\u00a0Boxster model line director Hans-Jurgen Wohler, Porsche is planning to offer an entry-level model with a downsized engine in a move that will help it reduce fleet emissions.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Boxster with a four-cylinder engine, or maybe even a three-cylinder turbo, could produce between 180bhp and 200bhp and emit just 180g\/km of CO2,\u201d Wohler told AutoCar<\/em>. \u201cGiven the Boxster\u2019s history \u2014 that it started with a 200bhp, 2.5-litre engine \u2014 I think this is possibly something that customers could accept.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are under a great deal of pressure from the EU law makers to reduce emissions, but we don\u2019t know yet how much we\u2019ll have to come down by,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In order to avoid fines, companies like Porsche that produce less than\u00a0300,000 units a year will have to reduce their fleet CO2 emissions by 25 per cent compared with 2006 levels in order to avoid fines.<\/p>\n
