Allan C Posted 15February, 2018 Report Share Posted 15February, 2018 Porsche's Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser at the Bathurst has denied the next generation cars will be all turbocharged. https://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/porsche-to-maintain-911-tradition--as-long-as-we-can--117255.html?trackLink=homePageNews1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 15February, 2018 Report Share Posted 15February, 2018 “A normally aspirated engine still fits a sports car. You cannot achieve the same with a turbocharged engine.” says the decision to shun turbocharging for its most collectable sports cars “is mainly driven by emissions regulations” and that Porsche will hold out “as long as we can”. Begs the question as to why they were so quick to shift camp on the Carrera range then...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911 Snake Posted 15February, 2018 Report Share Posted 15February, 2018 The thing that concerns me most is the look of the rear end in that particular spy shot! Seems not long ago the other models like Cayenne and Pana modeled their look and styling cues from the 911. Now it seems that the 911 is getting it's influence from them.. I do have faith though that they'll prevail. They always do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would seem there is significant pressure from within to change to a Turbo. Walliser said the next-gen car’s engine is “in the right place... it’s in the back”, and that he hopes to retain screaming naturally aspirated power for the motorsport-inspired 911 GT3 and GT3 RS. “I would like to continue with it – it makes the car unique, it’s still a light engine,” Walliser says.

The front "non" grill of the Cayenne is hideous.... they just seem to add of tacky bits left, right and centre..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
