"The Cayman is a loud car. The shape of the rear hatch area is purportedly an acoustic horn blasting exhaust and tire noise into the front of the cabin. Some have said that the Boxster’s cabin shape and insulated soft top make it slightly quieter."
And I said that is bollocks, as he's comparing a gt4 to a boxter s; and there are completely different reasons the gt4 is louder, and i listed them.

The other poster would have me believe the Boxster's roof is constructed from a single piece of thin cloth.


In this video you can see the thickenss of the boxter roof. And it is indeed thin material, thin enough to pinch with the fingers, which is needed since it needs to fold.

is it true? My second question would have been, why or how?
It is not true. I explained you why.
And i will open my mind more... and now with my opened mind, after having driven both models for tens of thousands of kilometers, I can tell you that the boxter is ideed louder on the inside, in agreement with the laws of physics.

So with that being said, the Electric boxter will also allow for more wind noise in the cabin, than the cayman. And the hard roof, which is in fact not "hard" as it is not one layer of metal only, does not in fact act like an "accoustic horn".
