A 450-hp turbo-Boxster; for real or one-off concept? Go to:

I haven't seen that one but a couple of after-market houses in Germany do turbocharge the Boxster to arrive at really evil HP numbers

To me that looks worthy of the Porsche name. Love those rims!

With 450 hp, it has to rival the 911 TT...I'm not so sure if that makes sense for Porsche to do that.

So far, as I understand, it's only being explored by aftermarket tuners. At this point I don't think Porsche is involved.
