I was reading somewhere about the new turbo Ferraris and how engineers had kept the torque low at lower revs to maintain the right noises and character of a "Ferrari" engine (but they'd also dropped the rev limit quite a bit) - I guess this is what Porsche will do, I personally hate it, it is a totally manufactured fake set of power and torque curves which are far away from the awesome N/A engines of the past where the power is eeked out at highest revs through efficient traditional tuning.

I suspect the vast majority of buyers will not give this aspect a second thought as the cars will be measurably better in every metric the marketing department pick on and I'm sure they will be made to sound OK as well.
