As a Chief Engineer/VP for a supplier into the global automotive manufacturing industry, I have access to historical and forecasted build data. All 9A2 evo 4.0 NA engines are produced in Zuffenhausen. They forecast 1,612 for Boxsters in ‘22, and 1,535 in ‘23, with 0 in 24. Boxster EOP (end of production) is scheduled for 12/23. For Caymans; 996 in ‘22, 1049 in ‘23, and 1028 in ‘24. Cayman EOP is scheduled for 3/24. The data source is used throughout the industry and major manufacturers use it for internal mid and long-term planning. Having said all that, VW/Porsche are in the drivers seat and can change direction, ie, 2.5T H4 > 4.0 NA H6.

Are you sure? They typically make more GT4's than Spyders with at least a 2:1 split but your data is stating the opposite of what is historically true. Unless I'm reading your data incorrectly but you're saying they will make 1,612 4.0 Boxsters but only 996 4.0 Caymans.
GT4RS in production, so perhaps they’re drawing those allocations from the 4.0 Cayman line.
Alternatively, perhaps the Cayman VW overflow line is drawing down.
Interesting data for sure…

zuffenhausen is the only build location for the 4.0L NA engine (9A2 evo). This engine is used exclusively in the Boxster/Cayman models GTS/GT4/GT4RS/Spyder/25th Anniversary.

Nice! I feel like it should be either/or, not both. But then again, what do I know! I’ve found a dealer willing to do MSRP with a 12-18 month quoted timeframe, but said they want sales add ons instead of ADM. Crafty, lol.
