Hey to all,
first post in this very, very great board! Even more, in this awesome thread.
May i contribute to this discussion with the small hint, that the almost unnoted exposure of the great engine mystery is not only a press release from Porsche (which i haven't read though), but also appears in the "Mission 2014" subpage. Even more, some more details are given, nevertheless, they maintain silence on the cylinder configuration. Instead, it says
Quote:
The obvious solution would have been to start with an inherently economical diesel engine, not least because of recent successes in this area. But we’ve chosen to forge our own path. Instead of a diesel engine, we’ve developed a compact and turbocharged two-liter four-cylinder engine.
So, what can we expect from a "very compact" 2 litre, turbucharged petrol engine?
Also, it's noteable, that - at least in the german text - they strikingly often refer to statements like "it's not the fastest car winning at Le Mans" or "The tens of thousands of variables and countless possible set-ups mean that calculations to identify the most efficient overall package"
Looking forward to hear your thoughts!
