bluelines:

3.6 litre naturally aspirated flat 6 cylinder Mezger-derived engine with 450hp and rev limit at 9500rpm. It is gonna be a screamer! smiley

Porsche cannot call it 718 if they give it anything else than a 4-cylinder engine. Their entire marketing department would go up in flames. They won't give it another model name either. Hence a 4-cylinder it is. 

We want that screamer! Smiley

I really say - this front end and front lights are looking IMO better than the 991. Very modern, agile, sexy. The mid-engine of the Boxster/Caymen setup was always amazing. With the right engine this indeed would be a screamer. 

And yes - they will not do us the favor. They didn't do it for the last 20 years (since the Boxster appeared) and they will not do it in the future.
