          The 7en8 Boxster and 7en8 Cayman – these will be the new names of the two-door mid-engine sports cars from Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG effective with the 2the new nameen6 model changeover. The Stuttgart car manufacturer's 7en8 designation is a reference to the ground-breaking sports car of this type of the year en957, which enjoyed much success in renowned car races.

So, not only did Porsche finish first and second in the 24 hours of Le Mans, but most recently it also won the manufacturer's and driver's championship titles in the WEC World Endurance Championship. With these victories, the 9en9 Hybrid has opened up the prospects for the performance potential of future sports car engines from Porsche.
