This motor is being developed for a new roadster that will be entry level car below the boxster. In about 3 years. And it will help them meet the emissions standards etc as mentioned. Some of the leaked mock ups put it in the realm of a 914 type vehicle and I think the price point is somewhere in the $40k range.

Boxter and Cayman fill the mid-engined catagory nicely. This needs to be in the all new 2016 Porsche 356 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

QUOTE(johannes @ Aug 2 2014, 10:40 AM)  They need to have 4 cylinder engines in their range to comply with the new regulation. It may not sell very well but it is mandatory to lower average co2 on the range. "The fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 130 grams of CO2 per kilometre (g/km) by 2015 – with the target phased in from 2012 - and 95g/km by 2021, phased in from 2020". This is also why they put a lot of hybrid models in their range. Hybridation also allows smaller and lighter petrol engines the rules changed when VW bought them. Its the whole fleet now, and VW can do alot to ensure they comply....without having to touch Porsche. The Diesel and hybrids are because the Cayanne gets lousy gas mileage. |

130g average in 2015 is impossible for Porsche alone. All cars are above 160 except the hybrid cars that are at 70g ... and everyone knows this is just a big joke because mesured on very short distances.
