I think Porsche may use a V6 engine, instead of a 4-cyl. V6 is closer to Porsche production and philosophy. No car with a 4L in the pricelist, so I think it would not have sense to run in Le Mans with a such engine. Then, a V6 (or however a 6 cylinders), would have a better torque in confront of a 4-cyl.
And then, if VW would really like to take place in F1, experiencing a V6-turbocharged engine, would have great chances of success for its debut in singleseater (maybe as engine supplier).
I expect a Porsche competitive since its first season, due to the huge internal rivalry with Audi. Ingolstadt brand has played in the Porsche field so long, but without a real strong and long-time competitors, as it happened for Porsche with Ferrari, Lancia, Jaguar, Renault, etc.
You can be sure Porsche is interested to show it is yet Le Mans "owner", while Audi cousins were just some entertainers in confront of Stuttgart men.
